Title: 15 inch rims on 02 silverado 1500
Post by: rayning lead on March 09, 2013, 05:35:19 AM
My truck currently has 20" rims and completely bald 33x12.5 mts ive been looking for new tires but eveeything is so expensive for 20s and I want to get rid of them but every set of used tires I find are always for 15 inch rims. Ive heard there are ways to fit 15s on my truck but I dont know some people say you cant and some say you can. And my brother has a set of 33x12.5x15 gumbos that he said I can have so I need to know if its possible or not?

Your brakes are too big, if you grind the crap out of your calipers or space the wheels way out it will fit. I have an 06 and you need 17s or bigger to fit over the brakes, I think 16s will clear on an 02 though. My opinion - spend more on tires and know the truck is safe.

They fit the front but not back.. Alot of grinding and they will fit the back
