Confirmation/questions: 15" Rims on a stock 2K1 5th Gen

Just want to be 100% sure that I can run 15" steel rims on a stock 2k1 5th gen. I am looking at 15" wheels with 205 65R/15 snows.

From all of my searching, it seems like this wouldn't be a problem for a 5th gen; the wheel should clear the caliper no problem.

1) Just looking for confirmation
2) Does anyone have pics of a 5th gen with 15" wheels (does it look weird)
3) Is there a huge difference in the feel between 15/17 inch rims or is it all in the tires? I am looking at blizzack ws snows. Obviously I know it won't be the same but I take it pretty easy in the winter anyways.

Thanks!

Here's what I've found:

I like the sound of blizzaks in the 205 size. I ran those on my 97 with 16in rims..It made my steering a lot easier...easier to turn the wheels for some reason. What ever you do, get all 4 tires!!!!!!!!!!! Dont be like me and get only the front 2 and spin the car out within 2 weeks and bang it up....Totally caught me off gaurd. Kuhmo ecstas suck. I even had wieght in the trunk.

If the 15s fit and it snows where you live, you will not care what they look like. They are that good.

Thanks man for the reply!

I know one guy already showed me pics of 15's on a 2K, can anyone give me a final confirmation that 15's will fit on a 2K1. The guy I am talking to said they were last on a 99 Max.
