They do fit without any dramas.
Just make sure the rims are the right offset:
15x7 - Neg 9
15x8 - Neg 22 or Neg 25

Cheers,
Ryano

What do all those numbers mean ? will the x7 and x8 offsets fit as long as they are neg 9 and neg22/25 ?

The rim size is 15x7 or 15x8 (7 or 8 being the rim width).
the Neg 9 etc. is the offset of the rim. Basically means that the rim itself sits outward towards the edge of the guard more.
Other vehicles (IFS for instance) run a positive offset ( 15x7 - Pos 7 and 15x8 0 offset) which sit in towards the chassis more. These won't fit on yours as they will foul on the steering/springs and undertrack the vehicle heaps.

Cheers,
Ryano
