I am hoping they are because I could get a pair of wheels and ET Streets for under $300

dont think they will fit BUT you can pick up a set of the 15x8 summit stars and grind your rear caliper down about a mm and make it clear. thats what i went with. check this thread out as far as fitment goes and whether or not you need spacers, stock lugs etc... great thread.

I have doubts.

First, will 15" even fit over the rotors in the first place?

If you can successfully and safely get past the 15" issue, the offset is way different (-13mm vs +45mm or so). There would be plenty of room on the back side, but the front side would be over 2" further out than the 18"GT wheels are (and almost 1.5" further out than GT500 wheels). "Tire, may I introduce you to my friend fender?"

^lol. I am just gettting a pair for the rears. I might try looking into a different wheel. I dont really want to modify my calipers, but for under $50 a wheel I was hoping.

the summit stars arent that pricey but you MIGHT have to shave off a bit of your caliper. long story but i guess there are 3 different size rear calipers for 06+ and depending on which ones you have they might clear without grinding or you might have to shave a little like i did. some people have fit them without shaving the caliper though.
