Default 15" wheels?????

is anybodyout there running 15" wheels? if so did you need to modify or change anything on the rotor or hub? i hate the fact that 16" or 17" rims are so expensive to get tires for. plus i am a fan of the big tire with a small wheel look

I'm running soft 8's with 4" of backspacing. I got a $20 angle grinder and went to town on my calipers to make then fit. It was very easy to do.

With 3.75" of backspacing you shouldn't need to grind
