Default 15 inch wheels with rear disk

Will 15 inch wheels fit over the rear disks on an 03 rcsb? I know they won't on the 05 and up, but I was hoping that they would on my 03.

Some 15s will, some wont.Depends on the backspacing. All it takes is a little grinding on your brake calipers and they will fit though.

You wouldn't happen to know the backspacing that will work? I kind of figured I would have to do some grinding.

15" will fit on the 05 in the rear no problems b/c they have drums.
you will need to grind on the 03. the most backspacing you can use is 6" before it hits the calliper banjo bolt.

It took me about 6+ hours with a belt sander and grinder to get my 15's to work, but I got a set of cheap crappy rims.

Any pics on what material has to be ground off? I've ground several front calipers on mustangs to get skinnies to fit, but I'm new to this truck stuff.

Does anyone know where to buy I can buy a set Bogart D10's from? I have tried to search for them, but can only find people selling them used.

Ok, heres a crappy ms paint, but is this about how much material that will have to be removed? 1/8"? The 15x8s I'm looking at running have 4.75 bs so the banjo bolt won't be an issue.
