They do make them on a special order. I had a buddy of mine get some. But no the 15's will not fit over the drums or rotors. What kind of rims r u lookin for ryan v2006?

Yes, you'd have to grind the calipers down on the d60 by about 3/16-1/4 inch.

Yes, a lot of people do, I've ran some in the past on my k5 w/ the d60/14bolt I had.
