Default 15" Wheels on a 2003?

I'm new here, I tried to search for previous topics and came up empty. Excuse me if this has been asked before.

I'm thinking about putting 15" wheels on my 03. But first I have a few questions.

Does anyone make them? I'm thinking they might not because they won't clear the brake componets?

If they do make them, where can I find them? I've searched the web and haven't found anything.

The price of 17" wheels is driving me to this question. 200 bucks for BF goodrich mud terrains is rediculous.

if you have factory 16" wheels then 15's will clear but if your truck came with 17's or 20's then the rotors are too big. the caliper won't clear. 17's are the smallest you can go.

I thought all 3rd gens were 17" rotors? Either way, 15" wheels are no go.

Correct, 15" will not clear the brakes.

Did you check on Tirerack.com they have the best price around. I get my Goodyear 20's for $131 from them.
