yes about 1 inch. :D

just messing with ya. What size tire do you want or plan on running.

15x7 most people will run a 30 or smaller size tire.

15x8 most people will run a 33 or higher size tire.

for anything inbetween a 30 and a 33 you could go with either and be just fine.

along with the tire height, the tire width is limited by the width of the rim. General rule is the tire should be no wider than 3" than the rim, but many go 4" with no problems at all, but no wider. So the max width tire for a 15x7 would be 11", (true size, not stated size, they differ) so a tire listed as 32x11.5 would fit. For a 15x8, 12" wide is max, so a 33x12.5 would fit.
