If you have the same rotors as my 08, then no they do not fit...
here's the test fit of a 16" rim
This is how much meat that would have to come off... You do it and let me know if it holds up, lol

Anyone got an old set of calipers that'll fit my truck laying around after a big brake upgrade? Can be useable or not, doesn't matter to me. If so, let me know, I'll pop their cherry and see how much meat is left after I clearance them to fit.

Lance, that looks like about how much material would have to come off to fit my wheels. Makes me feel a little bit better about doing it. You guys might not be able to make fun of my tiny rear wheels anymore.... well maybe you will just make fun of all four now, haha.
