15" wheels on a 99 silv. 4x4??

Is it possible to put 15" wheels on a 99 silv 4x4, or will they rub the rear brake calipers?

Exactly, the original post asked about 15" wheels. For 15" wheels, I would think you would need a whole lot of offset or whatever it's called.

What did the truck come with stock? The tag inside the drivers door will tell you. Offset is how far from center the rim is towards the wheel well or away from the wheel well. 15" vs. 16" is the rim diameter. If it will rub the passenger side it will also rub the drivers side......

THey wont even fit over the calipers. I've tried this before when I worked at the tire place. Poor guy spend all his money on some rims and they wouldnt even fit
