15" 8 lug Wheels???
Do these even exist? the only thing I can find are 16" 8 lug wheels. Is it possible for a 15" wheel to fit on a 8 lug axle? If so how can i do this? Thanks

I have 15x10 8 lug rims, One set from American Racing and the ones on the truck from US wheel. Bought mine from a local Merchants and the other from Tyres International. They are out there. If you have drums all around you'll have no problems.

Both sets are white wagon wheels. There's pics in the link in my signature. When I bought the truck it had 15x8 8 lug rims. I was told that AR does not make the 8 lug 15" white wagon wheels anymore but they have others.
I just bought the US wheel ones in March 2003.

Got mine at the local Neal Tire Store a few years ago. 15"X8" White spokes. AR, I believe. Around $34.00 EA. Haven't checked on availability lately, but I did have another set spotted, just in case! You can use them on front disc trucks, if you grind the caliper flashing (and a LITTLE more) It will ruin the CORE value, but, they're not all that much outright, anyway. Just spin a bare wheel and grind a little, do it till you feel there is ample clearance between the rim and caliper. Be sure to allow for pad wear and outward caliper movement/travel. Front drums (GM) are good to go with 15"s.
