I tried on my 2002 W/T, but the 15" wheels would not clear the disc brake calipers. Yours would have the bigger calipers, so it would be even more of an issue. I was attempting to use 15x8 ralleys.

I had 16" x8" steel wagon wheels. If I could have found 17x8 or 17x9 wagon wheels or steels I probably would have used them.

Gotcha. Might just use the 18s with a 13.50 wide tire. Guessing I will need a 4 inch lift to clear 33x14,50. Not really wanting to go 6inch
