no one is running 15's

in order to get a 15" wheel to fit, you have to switch to v6 or maybe even 4th gen brakes, get a new set of lower control arms for the back, and you would have machine the spindle.... how for would you have to machine the spindle? no one knows, because no one has been dumb enough to do it....
