Re: will they fit right
15's with that much backspacing on a 3" spindle.... Not Likely.
Stock our trucks have 4" of backspacing on the steel wheels. With an aluminum wheel 3.5" backspacing is cuttin it real close, the aluminum's thicker than steel's. Make sure you trim your lower control arms properly or they'll trim your wheels. |

Re: will they fit right
From what I understand you have to take some meat out of the lower control arm when using 15" wheels. Sounds like a good excuse to get some 17s.
