Chuck,

I have a set of these babies on my 6.  I actually got
them through a local Konig Distributor.  They ended up
being cheaper than the $525 price...didn't try
offering less...nice one!

Anyway, you shouldn't have to modify the rim, BUT you
will have to remove some of the upper a-arm material
as well as turn the outer ball joint bolt around...not
sure which way it needs to be oriented, you'll also
need to trim off any excess threads from that bolt. 
You'll probably still rub at full lock going
backwards, SOOOO, get a set of 1/4" spacers.  And I
would recommend getting different lug nuts that's both
tapered AND has a 1/4" shank as you'll need to make an
allowance for those spacers...not very many threads
left after you add the spacers.  You could replace the
studs, but I figured the lug nuts would require less
work.  

You shouldn't have any problems on the backs.

Now, I know you just bought them & all, but Konig also
makes a set of 16X7 Rewind wheels.  I'm pretty sure
they're new.  Were you to purchase the 16X7, you may
find yourself doing a bunch less work.  Heck, maybe
the guy that sold you the 15's might also sell the
16's...maybe he'll make you a deal?

They look awesome though!

Cheers,

Todd Bermudez
