Default 15 inch rims on 2000 dodge???

I was wondering if the brakes are bigger on a newer 2nd Gen because I'm not sure but I think they ran 15s on some of the older 2nd gens and was curious if I could buy some after market 15 inch rims and have no issues. The truck is a 1500 4x4.

If you have dual piston calipers up front, I do not think they will fit. If you have single piston calipers, you may have to grind a bit on the caliper, or, the tie rod end. Don't recall which....

I had to go 16s on my '98 1500 4x4 when I had it, lifted it and went to 35" tires. Wanted 15s but I wasn't going to mess with brake parts...
