with alittle grinding on the caliper or wheel spacers they will.

but not stock

good luck finding 15's in a 5x135 bolt pattern. Dont get me wrong you can find them but they are rare

i think he still has them in his house, because he got 16's to get rid of the spacers

yeah tires are cheaper for a 15, but with our brakes id just go with a 16. they will look smaller the bigger tire you go
