Default will a 15" rim fit a 1998 1500?

I have a 1998 ram 1500 4wd with 1" wheel spacers and i want to put a 15" rim on it for cheaper tires. All the sites i look at say that their is no rims for the ram 1500. But i can find rims for the 1998 ram van 1500 that are 15". dos anyone no if they will fit?

15" will fit, but, you may have to grind a bit on either the caliper, or the tie rod.

I put 15' wheels on my 98 2wd. No issues but not sure if 4wd is the same.

They will fit. my truck is a 98 1500 4x4 too and no modifications are needed. Just look for a 15in wheel w/ a 5x5.5 lug pattern i really like my 15in
procomps.
