Only option I can think of is a wheel adapter that pushes past the brake caliper (6x4.5 adapter) and allows the 15" size but I'm not sure that would be a good idea b/c that puts additonal stress on the wheel bearing, otherwise I'd have to go with a bigger wheel which I don't want to do b/c I have a 4cyl. and don't want the additional weight/cost $$$ mainly of a 265/75 R 16.

In addition if I went with the adapters, could discount tire beat this price?
http://www.tirepackage.com/shoppingcart.aspx with tax it comes out to $994.50

Is there a 15" wheel out there that fits (besides OEM)?

Thanks for the help
The link says your cart is empty but that's ok. We agree with you on the adapters/spacers, they aren't the best idea. Our stores won't install them and actually, they won't even touch any car with them, not even for just a balance. If we carry a similar wheel to the wheel you are looking at we will do our best to match the delivered price. PM us a link to the individual items and we'll be able to see what you are looking for.

Also, as for the 15" options..... There might be a few that will work but they would be more of an off road stance wheel, (low offset 15x They are also Steel and reflect the heavy weight that comes with it and would probably end up weighing the same if not more than the 16" wheels.

As for 16" wheels and tires. The 16" OE set up weighs about 59lbs. If you go with a 16" cast wheel and a highway or lighter weight AT tire you shouldn't be too far off that. PM us more about what you are looking for. Finish, style, and the type of tire you want and we will do our best to point you in the right direction.
