With that back space, You may need to cut and shut your diff. 225/60/15 is a comfortable fit on that size rim if you plan to take passengers. I would look more towards a 4.5" - 5.5" back space if you want to leave the diff width as it is. I've just recently purchased a TF for another clevo project and I won't be touching the body at all as the last one ( TE ) just caused me headaches with Qld Transport.
