Well, can we put on some 15x8" wheels directly? Or will my brakes need to be shaved down

Depends on the wheel: 15x8: most direct fit, 15x10 no, you need to grind the banjo bolt and some of the caliber.

Got them and installed them. They fit directly, but it's a pretty tight fit between the caliper and the wheel.
