16'' to 15'' wheels

Yea, the calipers are quite a bit larger. And especially when you consider most guys upgrade to even LARGER brakes because the 16" wheel setup warps and is not very effective, you are going to run into some problems.

All im saying, is its just not worth it. You are spending money to downgrade.

hmm, doesnt seem like such a good deal. my brother only paid 800ish for his 285/75/16 cooper stt mounted and balanced and the definity is supposed to be a cheaper tire.
