Off Roading will 15" rims fit on a 2500?

[mjoppie]

can 15" rims fit on my 2500? i know that a lot of chevy and ford guys grind the calipers to fit them and was wondering if anyone has ever fit them on a dodge? i can get a set of almost new 44" boggers on 14"x"15 8 lug wheels for dirt cheap (under $1000) but am not sure if they will go. the rims have a lot of offset so they might . any ideas??? that would be pretty cool to have 44's on my truck so im opitmistic about it.

i know i had to grind the dana 60 i had in my 82 when i was bogg'n, but ask the guy if you could try one if he's close. under a grand is a good price

yeah thats why i want them. he had them on 60's but i dont know what it had for brakes (mud drag truck). most all of my friends are running 15's on 3/4 tons around here so i figured they might. my 95 doesnt have a t-case in it yet so i cant get it over there to test fit them, but i want to put money down on them to hold them.

No, the 15" rims won't fit on our trucks because of the brakes. I wish they would though. It would be easier and cheaper to get tires!

thats kinda what i was thinking. the rims had enough offset that i would have guessed they might but i got 38's instead now. maybe later i will cough the cash up for 44's.

I have a set of 15's that fit my dodge with out any grinding involved. They were made by US wheel for my 74 power wagon. I tried them on my 98 and they fit fine. They have very very little backspacing, though, so it makes the tire stick out pretty far. I think there are pics of the wheels in my readers rigs gallerey, but not sure.
