Default 15" rims on an 01
I know they initially won't fit but I'm wondering how much grinding to the calipers needs to be done and if anybody has made them fit?

I don't think they will fit at all with the dual piston calipers......

Read somewhere the steel wheels(like the Procomps for example) will clear but none of the alloy/aluminum will.

When it comes time for new tires I'd like to get new rims too. Simple steel wheels are what i like. Small rims and bigger tires are the look I'm after.

Has nothing to do with the rears. Front calipers on 2000/2001 models are dual piston and physically bigger and alloy 15s don't fit and steels barely do
