Yeah, I'm interested in that as well. Also, will the fender need to be cut to run that size tire even if the rim fits? With a custom 15" wheel, would it be possible to run the stock brakes or are they just way too big no matter what the offset.
Stop asking this common sense question. Chucky already answered you!
LOL, for what it's worth - custom *16"* rear wheels won't even clear the rear calipers without either a spacer or grinding down the caliper, muchless 15s. Even 15s need spacers and grinding sometimes on the rear NA calipers.
Trimming the fender lip depends on what width tire/wheel you will be running, not just being 15".
If you're worried about the brakes and running bias ply in the rear, your best option is to run 17x11s with 315/35/17 BFGs. That's the best radial traction you can get with the stock brakes.
-IF only they made a 315/40/16 BFG!-
295 or 305 or even 315/45/16 would be nice too. *Higher OD!* ALL on stock brakes and suspension! But one can only dream that BFG can one day hire competent marketing people. Then again, this is the same company that makes colored tread tires.
