Measure your drums first. There are some 3/4's that 15's won't fit on because of the larger brakes.

And many states have made them illegal. That is why you'll probably never find them.

I take it this is a 4x4.
Places to get 15" 8 lug wheels.
4 Wheel Parts warehouse, where I got mine.
15x10" with 4 1/4" backspacing. $41ea.
National tire and wheel.
Tyres International.
there are a bunch more sources.
A 15" wheel will fit ANY 14 FF axle regardless of the brake size.
And I have never heard of them being illegal.
Now the front axle is another issue.
You will have to grind the calipers and backing plate a little to clear the wheel.
It took me about an hour to grind both sides on mine.

The ones I got from 4WPWH are the TEC ones. 15x10 with 4 1/4" backspacing.
I ordered them on a Tuesday and they were on my door step on Friday.

You could just swap out the eight lug axles for five lug (: I'll take the rear off your hands if it's a junky ol' 14 bolt.
