Nope

If I am not mistaken, you can't run a 15 inch rim with the stock brakes, unless you have converted to drums in the rear, the 15" rims will hit the calipers. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

15in rim

I am running a 15x8, with stock brakes, with no problems. I have 3 3/4 BS and the wheel sticks out about 1 /4, hits wheel well. I found out if I put 10 in wheel it will stick out even more.

Thanks,Nick
