Clearance between strut

Hi I've ordered some 8 inch wide 15 inch wheels with an offset of 25 all round, does anyone run this size wheel and Coilovers? I've searched but can't get a definite answer whether they will hit the coilover strut or not.
My measurements say it should be ok but someone on here must run that or a similar combination.
Seems a bit of a noob question but just want to put my mind at ease.

To be honest, I think it depends how lowered you are.
Afaik default wheels have 45 offset, im running 7j 15" borbets with 35 offset and they have a fair amount of room, although I couldn't tell you precisely.
8j=20.32cm
/2=10.16cm
+.25(posi offset)=10.41cm, so you've got just over 10cm between the bolts and the inner rim.
If they do fit, let us know!
If they don't, get spacers!

Some wheels arrived but rimstlye actually sent the wrong wheels but with the correct tyres i put the front coilovers on tonight and fitted the wheels. But it started hammering it down before i could finish the job so here is a quick look at them.
They are ex8's instead if ex2's and et30 so have loads of room between the strut and wheel.
After looking at them for a while i think im going to keep them as they do look pretty good on it.
