Not if it's got a dana 60 under it. I doubt anyone makes the rims that fit it, even if you could get them you have to grind a lot out of the caliper to make it fit. The old bolt pattern 8 lug they make 15 inch rims for, but it's a pain to put them on.

How much grinding depends on back spacing and also the calipers you are using.

You dont have to grind too much if you are using Chevy brakes and more than 3 inches of backspacing.  3.5 - 4 recomended.



I would not attempt to grind a Ford caliper to fit 15 inch rims.  You get way to close to the brake fluid passages with the Ford calipers.... if you can do it at all.
