15 inch wheels on a 01 sport, can it work?

Does anyone have 15 inch wheels on their 01 or newer sport? Mine came stock with 16" wheels and I want to drop down to a 15, but I dont think you can. I tryed a 15" wheel and tire that I had laying around the house that I think came off of a ranger, but the brake caliper rubbed when I spun it. Im not sure about the offset and all on this rim, but does anyone know if it is possible to run 15" wheels?

My dad told me that since they went to 4 wheel disk brakes that they probably upgraded and used bigger calipers and rotors, so you cant fit 15"s on there, but Im not sure whether this is true or not.
 






nope....
the caliper and the lower ball joint nut will rub, and I wouldn't be surprised if the tie rod rubs
