what is the width on those? 295's?

they may fit with some trimming... depending on how meaty they are.

295 is wide...

the problem with 15's is that some work and some dont. our front brakes are too big for most 15's

backspacing dont matter as far as clearing the brakes its wheel diameter that will matter. only thing you could do is downsize your brakes but that will cost more than just getting the right size wheel

Unless you can test fit them, I'd pass on the deal.

32" total wheel/tire. That's what I have, no lift whatsoever man, and you have a the leveling kit. You'll be fine. Like I've said before, with a little trimming you won't have any rub most definitely.
