Default Will 15" Wheels Fit Our Trucks?

I heard yes and no about this issue. But I found a good deal for 33s on 15" wheels but I got told the rotor will run the inside of the wheel. Is that true? I'll be getting a 2.5" leveling kit Wednesday of that helps.

Short answer: No.


Long answer: Not without careful fitting, meaning, grinding the calipers.

Wrong. 15" steelies will fit fine. 15" Aluminum wheels are a touchy subject. I'm running 15x8 Pro Comp D slots with no caliper mods on my 97.

I believe 00-01 had upgraded larger calipers so grinding is required for them.

OP, you will be fine

IIRC, only the dual piston calipers ('00-'01) need to be ground for 15s to fit.

Are you guys 100% sure their fit? I want the wheels/tires but I would hate for them not to fit cause I don't wanna grind anything. Here's a picture of them:

I plan on painting part of th inside black so it'll look better with my truck of if i get them.
