15" wheels on Caliber RT?

[TurbododgePirate]

Anybody know if 15" wheels will fit on a caliber rt? The tires for the 18" don't last a year, and are expensive as hell.

My guess would be no, due to the size of the brakes.

Are the R/T brakes much bigger than the SE? Then again what wheel are you going to use? If you go aftermarket, there would be some but I don't know now many factory Chrysler wheels were the larger pattern and 15".

Looks to be that all 2.4L N/A equipped calibers use the same front brakes.

1.8 and 2.0 cars use smaller brakes.

Sorry, I don't know the answer, but you might post the question over at www.caliberforums.com . There are a bunch of guys with R/T's and maybe some of them have made the swap.

Tape measure....

I know on SRT4 versions you can't go any smaller than 18", but the brakes are massive and not the same as on the R/T.

I did a little more looking. Apparently Mexican Market R/T's were equipped with 205/70/15's. There should be a good number of inexpensive tires in that size, but who knows if Mexican market cars has the same brakes?

What about bolt pattern, are they 5 on 100 or are they the 5 on 4-1/2?
