9.5" wide et15

Ok so i would just like to see if i am correct:

so i use to have wheels that where 7.5" wide (190.5mm) with a +45 offset making the the depth of the wheel essentially 140.25mm to the mount - which didn't fit cuz of wheel weights (facepalm) so add 10mm spacer = solved

I am switching to 9.5" wide (rears, 241.3mm) with an offset of +15 which makes them 135.65mm deep - so they should fit without spacers, correct? which it doesn't really matter because i am not taking those spacers off since it took me, like, 6-8 hours to install (thank you RUST)

just double checking, im testing fitting the wheels to make sure before the purchase - thanks in advance

there is a rubberized coating over the metal. that is what is wearing away first before it gets to all metal. only way out is camber or air or spring stiffeners for the rear.
