15" 8 lug Wheels???
Do these even exist? the only thing I can find are 16" 8 lug wheels. Is it possible for a 15" wheel to fit on a 8 lug axle? If so how can i do this? Thanks

I have 15x10 8 lug rims, One set from American Racing and the ones on the truck from US wheel. Bought mine from a local Merchants and the other from Tyres International. They are out there. If you have drums all around you'll have no problems.

However i was told that recently no one makes them by the tire shops i go to.

Both sets are white wagon wheels. There's pics in the link in my signature. When I bought the truck it had 15x8 8 lug rims. I was told that AR does not make the 8 lug 15" white wagon wheels anymore but they have others.
I just bought the US wheel ones in March 2003.

Got mine at the local Neal Tire Store a few years ago. 15"X8" White spokes. AR, I believe. Around $34.00 EA. Haven't checked on availability lately, but I did have another set spotted, just in case! You can use them on front disc trucks, if you grind the caliper flashing (and a LITTLE more) It will ruin the CORE value, but, they're not all that much outright, anyway. Just spin a bare wheel and grind a little, do it till you feel there is ample clearance between the rim and caliper. Be sure to allow for pad wear and outward caliper movement/travel. Front drums (GM) are good to go with 15"s.
