Yes you can, however some spindles will rub with 15 inch wheels. I believe most 2.5 spindles like western chassis do not rub though. But even if it does with a little grinding you can make most all them work. My 15x8 truck rally's with Western spindles never did run.

15" progressive rims on my 78 with 3" belltechs no rubbing
