Any 15x7 or 15x8 wheels with a pattern of 5-114.3 or 5x4.5 wheels will fit. Common example is Jeep Wrangler rims I would personally stick with 15" over 16" for you have a greater tire choice and prices are alot cheaper

So the slightly larger rotors on 2001 WILL Allow me to use 15's. I was looking for a second set, local selling 15" steelies with 31" for 30 bucks, if they gonna fit i gonna jump on them

Ya, I've got a 2001 and am running 15x8 rims, only issue you may have (down the road) could be if you wanted to upgrade to WJ knuckles, so you can go with better brakes, they won't work with 15" rims (or so I'm told). Also if you were thinking of doing a disk brake conversion to your rear axle, they don't work with the stock steel rims (per Teraflex).
