The only issue you will have is when your 15" wheels have more than a 3.5" backspacing. Even then,... all you have to do it take a grinder to the leading edge of the lower control arm. (in the ball joint area)

Re: 71 c10 static drop
well i grinded all i can grind on the lower a arms and it wont seem to work with those rims , im gonna have to find some 16inch or bigger wheels , there close but bolted down they rub enough to not turn by hand , unless i can shave the inside the rim and get balanced probly price new rims,
