Most of the alloy wheels will fit without modification. The steel wheels usually require grinding the caliper slightly.

Discount Tire has done a great job putting together a list of what is known to work.

Try Googling this - 15" MB72 alloy Vs 15" Steel wheels

I used US Wheel D window daytonas from Summit. 15x8 steel with a 4 inch bs. I bought a single first to check the fit and then got the other 4.

i ordered cragar soft 8's, they just showed up so i tried one on. Had to grind quite a bit on the passenger front side, and just a little on the driver side. Fit just fine on the back. Now if my tires would show up tomorrow ill be happy

With 15's there isn't going to be much clearance if you get any debris in-between the caliper and wheel, keep that in mind.

very true, but its not like there is really that much clearance on the front with the stocker 16s im replacing and i havent run into any problems as far as that goes with them. I like the look of small wheel big tire, and the price factor of rubber between a 15" and 17" is a no brainer for me
