Running spacers or grinding the calipers (which we do not recommend) is the most common way to clear 15" steel wheels.

Thanks for the info. I think I have it. Can you quote me 15x8 Black Rock D Alloys (I think they will fit) on 35x12.50x15 MTR Kevlars with T sensors? Shipped again to 78251. Can't thank you enough.

For anyone thinking about going this route - do it! DTD hooked me up with the 15" MB72s with 35" KM2s, and even included black lug nuts. Below is the result on a 2.5" Teraflex BB.

Seems that when you buy the steel wheel and the spacer, you are basically up to the cost of one of these wheels. Better wheel for almost the same price isn't bad.

Default 15" Chaos and 35" KM2's

Finally wore out my stock tires so I could upgrade. Could not justify getting anything else but the 15" 35" combo. Tried something I could not find a pic of since black is so popular so figured I would post up just incase others are curious. 15" Silver Chaos 5 with 35" KM2's.

Really impressed with DTD customer service. Got a call back from Jordan that the black lugs were out of stock. So he's going to send me chrome ones free of charge in the meantime while they special order me some black ones. Awesome service guys! Can't wait!!! Early bday present for me.
