I believe the caliper scraping only does it on ( dont hold me to this. ) models with a 2 or 3 piston caliber. i have 15x10s on my truck and there is about 1/2 in gap in between.

depends on the model year if it will clear. yes it is a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. going from a 17 to a 15 i can nearly say that it will be guarenteed to scrape. depends on the size of rotors and model truck. i still say i wouldn't go with anything smaller than stock if you're ordering online/magazine. if you want to test fit go to les schwab or something like that.

Don't order from 4wheel Parts ask over on Pavementsucks.com if you want to know all the problems people have had with them. I've personally never used this or 4 Wheel Customs so only going by what people say but 4 Wheel Customs seems to have great customer support and prices and really be a great company I'd check them out and contact them over on Pavementsucks.com and see if he is running any specials.

I bought a set of 15" Ultra rims quite a few years back that fit just fine. The guys at the tire shop actually knew wich ones would and would not fit..because of the clearance problem. The wheels im running now are Cragar Street Stars. when i installed them i noticed that they were rubbing the calipers slightly, so i installed some 1/4" spacers and it fixed the problem.
