15x8 rallys

I've got a 4" drop using 2.5" spindles and 1.5 drop springs and i need to know if a 15x8 rally wheel with 4" of' backspace will rub the lower control arm or does the lip on the arm need to be trimmed? something i would rather not do.

You will need to trim around the balljoint area of the lower control arm. Or buy a wheel with less backspace. Trimming is no big deal.
