No, stock backspacing is about 4.75" on the IFS wheels. So 3.75" pushes them out 1" farther from the frame and going from 6" to 8" wide pushes 2" more to the outside, so the outer edge of the wheel is 3" farther out than it was w/ a stock 15x6 wheel. That 3" of width swings a much wider arc up front when turning the wheels, makes rubbing more likely.
