what year of truck do you have.
I've seen guys run a REVERSE RIM.....in which you dont have to swap out or grind down your calipers.
my truck is a 81 c20 camper speical
i got a set of 44 gumbos on 15s and run them on 4 defernt trucks and never had to do any grinding there for sale $650 tire and rimes

hello its me again wanted to know if you know what the backspacing is and the hole it center of the wheel iam going to take some measurements before i take the drive up thanks if you want to call me you can it may be a little qiucker thanks again 248 284 5004 ask for reggie
depending on back spacing sometime u would have to grind the caliper just enough to get the rims on to it Capt J had his ford done
I had to do mine, not that big of a deal.. took bout' 1/2 hr with a 4 1/2" grinder.
Backspacing will determine how much grinding if any you have to do. 4 inches or more and you will not have to grind as much. Its really not a big deal. Just spray paint... put the wheel on... turn... take wheel of and see where it rubber. Grind a little and repeat.
Just for those Ford guys... dont try this... you wont like the results. (Ford calipers are too big to grind and fit with a 15inch rim)
i didnt grind mine at all i have about 2 inches backspacing so it gave me no problem
