Hi guys, I need snow tires bad and found a good deal on some mounted 15's. I need to know if they'll clear the calipers? I'd rather buy some mounted tires rather than having to change tires twice a year.

15 might be pushing it. For snow tires, you may want to shoot for 16s minimum.

I could be wrong though

They won't fit. You need at least 16" to clear the brakes.
