I'm gonna go in there and measure how much room there is. When I put the Speedmasters on, minus the tires, it didn't seem like there was much clearance room for the crash bolt bracket. I don't know if there would be enough room for a 7.5, but with a mid 30's offset, I think you could get them on there.

Shouldn't it fit? I'm only assuming so because all these people who are wearing 18s and up must be on 7.5s.

With an 18" rim, you're above the crash bolts with the inner lip of the rim.... with a 15, you'll run right into them.
