Default 15" wheels

ok, i am pretty sure but not positive that 15" wheels will fit on a 2000 silverado if i grind the back of the caliper down a little. i know that sounds dumb but it wont affect the strength of the caliper. but before i go getting any wheels does anyone know for sure that they will fit and seen any pics of a white silverado with black wheels on it. that would be sweet .

15s will not fit even if you grind down the caliper. you can only do that on camaros and firebirds. their calipers are a little smaller than ours and you still have to grind down theirs to make 15s fit. just go with a set of 16s. why do you want 15s?

my guess is either for some kinda racing tire or less roatating mass.

I have seen 15" put on 99+ gm trucks... just not sure what modifications were made.

You can fit a 15" on our truck with enough grinding. Grey Silver has 15s

dont spend too much time on it. i believe that with a lot of grinding, it can be done. i just wouldnt want to take that much metal off the calipers.
