Anyone have any pics of what has to be done on the rear brakes/suspension to clear 15" wheels, I know the LG spindles are needed, pop in the dimple, then some grinding on the lower control arms and brakes. Pics would be great if anyone has some. Thanks in advance for any help.

Not hard just make sure you are removal material from the right place...when the car is in the air compared to where it sits on the floor...
As far as the calipers just take of the most u can

Thanks for the input guys, doesn't look to horrible to do and I have access to a small manual mill which will allow me to do it cleanly if I go this route.

I would think a belt sander would be just as easy

That is what I used also nice easy job. Plus also do like the other guy side also put the car on the ground with the cars full weight on it them mark the space from that.

I just put 15's on my car. It's amazing how much you have to grind off the lower arms to clear the wheel, plus the caliper required a pretty hefty amount as well. Definitely didn't expect it to be as much as I thought it would be.

But, traction was so worth it lol. Your car is gonna look sick with that wheel/tire/color combo.

Wheels fit great but man a lot of grinding on the lower control arms, everything else was cake.
