They will fit, they just might rub the LCA's on tight turns. They might also clearance the inner wheel weights on their own if they're close to the control arm.

I agree this will work,... But the edge of the wheel will be close to the fender lip. (The track width of the front suspension gets wider when you lower these trucks.) Also, I suggest trimming the lower a-arm around the ball joint to provide wheel clearance for the 4 inch backspacing of a 15x8 ralley wheel. A 15x7 rim just makes things easier and nicer looking in my opinion. But trim the a-arm anyway!
