Rim fitment

Just finally found a company that makes 15" 8x6.5" rims, and this is a good thing because I can reuse the BFG's that are on the vette ralleys from my impala. I was wondering how the fit would be with 15" rims? Will there be any troubles at all? The truck is a 72 C20.

If you have front disc brakes, you will need to grind the calipers just a bit for the 15s to fit. Otherwise, should be no problems.
