The rims for the 3rd gens are 17 inch for a reason.

You can go taller, but not shorter, or they won't clear the brake calipers.

I think we need some clarification on the question.

15.5 wide tires are fine on a 10" rim. Don't think you will get them to fit without a huge lift...12" min I bet. They just wont fit in the fender openings.
