Discount Tire also carries a 15" wheel that will clear the calipers, it is the MB72. They have them in matte black and machined finish. Pretty cheap too and they are aluminum.

They stick out about an inch or so. Here is a pic. It is the only one I have right now but I can get more if you need. No I did not have to do any grinding. I got them on sale and think I paid $99 for them. Shop around , you can usually find some one running a sale on these.

Hey could you post a pic of the front wheel up close to the caliper? I really want to go with these wheels but I want to be double sure they work. So any info beyond this thread would be great.
thanks

I have the 15 inch Discount Tires MB72s in flat black. No rubbing at all, didn't have to grind down the caliper either.

Eagle Alloys, series 028 fit. They have 3.68 backspacing. I have a set now that I am about to put on mine with 35s.
