You can buy adapters form some places. I know they make em for ricers any way. But using those it will be just like wheel spacers and those cause un-needed wear and tear on axle parts. Google lug conversion for you set up, there is always someone that has done it.

Make sure you buy 5 on 5.5 to whatever conversion you want and always torque your nuts to the correct specs.

if you dont want adapters, for the rear, you could just swap in a junkyard axle, but not sure if the front is similar enuff to swap easy

that makes me wonder if 2500 brake rotor/hub will fix on a 1500 spinlde,,,, maybe 1500 and 2500 spindles make the same?.. if so the front would be cake walk

iirc The rear axel for the 2500 and 1500 are different, they would then use different shafts and they wouyld have a different spline count.
