Dodge Caliber The new sporty Dodge Caliber is a hatchback that replaces the Dodge Neon. The Dodge Caliber is here to stay!

Can you put 15" wheels on an 2007 R/T Caliber?

There are actually 3 sizes of front rotors for the Caliber line up.

10.8 " for front disk/rear drum - SE & SXT with 1.8L/5 spd

11.6 " for front disk/rear disk - SXT,SXT SPORT & RT with CVT

and of course

13.3 for the CSRT4.
From the parts and service manual.

Yes according to the service manual.
The size is dictated by the 2.0L/CVT option.
The SXT Sport and RT use the smaller 10.8' disk
for the rear brakes,most of the braking is done by
the front units therefore the 2.0 and 2.4L engines
require more stopping power/square inches of surface.

4-wheel disc brakes are only available on the SXT if you have the Automatic Tranny and Electronic Stability Control.

I've got an SXT Sport with just about every option... except the automatic transmission... With no automatic, you can not have electronic stability control, or 4-wheel disc brake.
