Anyone with 15" rims??

i had a set of 15x10s on there... would just need to trim the rear caliper bracket by like 1/4" (one little corner of it)... for whatever reason his bolted right on the front and worked fine, and would work on the rear w/ that trimming. My dilema is... if i go to a 15x8 what backspace i need in order to have em clear. But i suppose i should just go to the tire store and ask if they can test fit a few wheels for me.

yeah u could grind down the caliper but ppl don't want 2. my dad has 2 sets of 15x8 and 15x10 old toyota wheels. i got bored and tried 2 see if they fit my tahoe one day and they barely rub on the rear like ur talkin about. so either grind or get spacers.

why would you want 15s unless you are going to put big ass tires on them?

I want them to put more aggressive off roading tires on for the fall and winter when i go off roading and encounter snow. Basically a 15" rim gives the ultimate choice in tires, with a heck of a lot better price. Unless someone can tell me where to get some 265/70r17's for like $150 a tire??? At least with the 15's i can get some swamper tsl radials, or even no name mud tires for a fraction of the cost of a 17" one. Priced out cooper STT's in a 265/70/r17 and they want 220/ tire..and these are not a "common" brand. Set of wrangler duragrips was over a 1000 for 4 tires.

So i was looking for 15" rims to put aggressive off road tires on...and then come summer i will run my stock 17's, which have an all-terrain highway tire.
