I don't believe so. I tried getting on 15 inch rims on from a FWD Toyota when I first got the car just to see if I could get it to fit, but the brakes were too big. I don't think they were 10 inches wide though. I'll be watching this thread.

Going "mexican" are we? Don't forget the whitewalls and mudflaps if you run those tiny offset wheels..

I think 16" is the smallest to clear the calipers. Although the front rotors are larger than the rear.
I have seen 16" steelies with drag slicks work well.
Back spacing may not be the only issue. The shape of the inside of the wheel matters so that the calipers clear the inside of the wheel.

15" will fit the rear. But a minimum of 16" is required on the front for 98+
That wheel will stick out past the fenders, btw.

I am so sorry for the stereotype. But... I have seen the glitter paint, chain steering wheels and beaded curtains that are put in these uninsured and illegally driven vehicles. Ouch!

16x7 cvpi steelies with some 255/50-16 bfg drag radials is the cheapiest drag setup. Jegs sells drag radials for a good price, I think their $143 each and have quick shipping.
