oefootball_70 nope. Sorry. 17's are the smallest. You can upgrade the breaks with a 15 inch caliper/break system and then fit them
thats wrong the stock brakes are only 13.9 in and if a 17 is the smallest you can go 15in rotors will not fit in 15in rims thats why the srt-10 had 22's w/e the size of the rotors u need to go 2 rim sizes up
i remember reading somewhere that some 16.5s would fit, but that is a very uncommon size anymore, so the 17s would probably be cheaper and easier to find

I had a buddy with a set of 35x12.5x16.5s off his former son-in-law's 2nd gen. truck. Dude stored them in his shed & left them there for a couple years when he split on the guy's daughter. Wheels had a little use on them, the tires were brand new, BFG M/Ts, with the sticky tag still on the tread!
The guy offered them to me, tires & wheels for $80! I tried one on, seemed like if you forced it, it would go, but I didn't trust it. He ended up putting them in the local paper for $125 and some guy with a Cheby (yeah I know, wrong bolt pattern) talked him all the way down to $50! I told the guy he was crazy letting them go for that, that I'd have given him the $80 and probably had them sold for a tidy profit on a forum to a 2nd genner, but he said "Hell, it's $50 I didn't have and I didn't buy the tires."
So anyway, long story short, but even though I've heard 16.5s go, I'd not trust it. Rule of thumb - 17's are the minimum...
atumant is someone i met up with at joliet raceway last summer. he had 16's on his truck and he said he had to do a lot of grinding on his calipers to fit them on.
he had a badass truck too...it was like a 14.5 2003 hemi or some ****.
