jus jack up the rear end, pull off 1 tire/rim and stick on the new rim and check the bloody thing. takes 10 minutes. you would know faster than posting here on the forum... unless bogged is online atm.

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

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.
