People have drilled newholes before, stupid and kinda sketchy in my opinion. I could maybe see doing it on a trail only rig but on a DD that gets to highway speeds no way.

The offset/backspace might be an issue also.....

Hey Chopper, how did you get 15" wheels to fit your truck?

15" Wheels fit on my 2001 fine. I was bored one day so I threw on my Jeep's tires which are 35x12.50's on 15x10 black steelies. I actually would have run around more with em on because it looked sweet. It was just that with the 3.75 backspacing and the 12.50" tire at full turn during suspension articulation it would rub slightly on the rear part of the front fender.

So moral of the story, 15" wheels just barely clear your calipers in the front and have no problems going over the drums in the rear.
