    15's will fit fine on the front but they will require a lot of grinding to the calipers on the rear. thats what i have on my truck right now, 15" aluminum. the steel wheels require less grinding, but you'll still have to grind some.

    i'm not sure. i have never looked for 6 lug skinnies. prolly have to run a 7 or 8" wide on the front with a 6 lug.

    Its all about the inside diameter of the wheels. I had done a set of 16" OBS Escalade wheels on my truck, and they didn't fit... I would measure the CL of the hub to the top of the caliper housing...multiply that X2 and you will get the I.D. of the wheel.
