Theres information that supports this theory, but theres also alot of information that is against this theory.

Won't fit the rears either, you need to grind away at the calipers for clearance.

You can get 15's to fit on the front with cobra brakes.. I had a set of 15x3.5's on my car. You just need a spacer.
