AU2 ute got the same brakes as the sedans. My AU2 ute came out with 15" rims. Yes you can fit 15" steel rims onto AU2 brakes.

Do you have an AU2 ute? If so, if the brakes are huge, then the answer to your first and second question is yes.
The utes scored 16s with the larger brakes (15's won't fit). One tonner tyres are load rated at 105, IIRC.
