Have you tried to fit 15" rims on your truck? Most people can't because of their brakes. I think 99+ had the larger ones.

Yes, they will fit providing the rims do, but even with a 16 they will. Yes, they will rub. 14.5 is wide.

lzf, you could use them, as tire swings, planters, ballast weight in the back of the truck, but a 15 inch wheel will definitely not fit on your truck, sorry.

Probably wouldn't be worth the money.

From what I've heard you've either got to grind your brake calipers down or use wheel spacers to fit 15"s.
