Will 15" wheels fit if stock is 16"?

Hi.
I have a 97 4runner that came stock with the 16" wheels. I understand that the rotors are a little bigger if you have 16" wheels.

I'm sure lots have been through this before. I am wondering if there are any clearance issues fitting some steel 15" wheels on there.

I want to get the american racing 15" Steel wheels or equivalent. My intentions are to buy some nice all terrain tires or mud tires to put on these wheels so I can still put my other wheels back on to not wear down the expensive tread. And because the tires are cheaper in 15".

Soooo.... Can someone tell me if these wheels would fit?

And also- American racing quit making these wheels. Anyone know where you can still get them?

Thanks
-Jeremy

No the 15" wheels will rub on the brake rotors and drums.....they won't fit! 16" wheels aren't much more expensive then 15's.

Damn. The reason I mention the price difference is because on tirerack site- BFG all terrain t/a costs $185 for a 265/70/16 or $133 for a 31x10.5 15
