Some solid wheel info

I like as much actual solid info as I can get ahead of time on projects when I'm working on my car, so here is what I noted today when test fitting some wheels on my car.
Pertinent details:
-My fenders are completely OE right now. No rolling or pushing
-My suspension is completely stock with the exception of Option Racing (eBay) sleeve coilovers and DIY extended top hats
Wheels:
JNC 215
16x8 et+25
Car:
91 RT4WD
I spun my coilover all the way down in the front and disconnected the sway bar in an attempt to get the wheel close to the fender lip. I also pulled the inner liner out to be able to check the actual metal lip clearance. In the rear I just spun the coilover down about as much as I did in the front so it'd be somewhat level.
Front gap: 57.8mm
Spindle clearance
Spindle clearance: 26.3mm
Straight down from the top (wheel is slightly turned to the right)
Excuse my temporary/quick plumb bob.
Wheel sticks out: 8.9mm
It looks like it would come really close to clearing as the wheel comes up since it cambers in a bunch.
Rear gap: 65mm
Rear control arm clearance upper
Rear control arm clearance forward
Rear control arm clearance upper: 29.2mm
Rear control arm clearance forward:22.5mm
Straight down from the top
Wheel lip recessed in: 8.2mm
Rear lip thickness (no rolling): 21.8mm
My conclusion is that they "might" fit completely stock, but by rolling the rear and rolling/pushing the front a little, they should fit no problem. I know lots of guys have gone bigger and/or have put this exact size/offset on, but I wanted to get/give any exact data I could. Sometimes the info out there is foggy. I'll update when I put tires on.
