Wondering about 15x8s?

So today I had 10 mins spare so I tried 15x8s on my l700. Also threw them on a gtvi just in case someone wanted a reference.
The wheels pictured are 15x8 +25 offset. Tyres are 195-50/15

Short answer is NO!
They fit like crap. They scrub and hit the guards on the front. The rears are fine and look cool and with flares would look awesome but the fronts just can’t make turns. They hit the back of the guard and the inside of the front.
One good thing if you wanna do the maths on your own rims for backspacing, the struts clear by about 8mm. Also the size fits under the spring base.
