you can get 15s to fit on there if you find them with a deep dish on the outside and short inside. i have some . the inside dish on most hit the brake caliper front and back.

Eaton wheels makes them. Home Page @ NTW
I don't know what it would take to make them fit, but they are still produced.

Run 16" rims or run 18" rims. 17" rims aren't in demand as much as 18".

15's won't clear the drums but diy4x4.com or bluetorch fab makes caliper brackets that bolt on and you run 87 3/4 ton front rotors and calipers if its a dana rearend there like 80 bucks really easy to do i've done quite a few and stops 100 times better than the drums
