you might want to measure, if you have IFS i dont think it will work, i was going to get some 15's on mine, but came to find out the bottom nut on the ball joint in the front is to close.

depends on the backspacing. Some hit on the tierod and some hit the caliper. i was a memer of a chevy truck specific board some time back and it was a standard practice there to grind down the back of the caliper to clear the tires. i ALWAYS advised against it. Finally one of the ground down calipers failed and someone got really hurt. if they done fit, Dont make them fit. Unbolt one and give it a try.
