why don't you just use 6 lug 4WD OBS wheels? they are the same 6 lug pattern as 2/4WD NBS trucks.

Also for you guys that have done the 15 in wheels..how much did you shave off your calipers??
I'm running 15" 6 bolt eagle alloys, they're light and they're cheap. 8" wide, 10" will stick out a little.
