IIRC, I looked into this awhile back and couldn't find any 8X6.5 bolt circle for a 15" wheel...Maybe someone makes them now...

On my 16" rims I don't have the clearance to have sticky weights on the middle of the inside of the rim without them hitting the the front brakes, I really doubt any 15" rim would fit on the front of these trucks.
A company in Peoria? Glendale? Near Phoenix can make 'em... can't memmer the name though?
$500 a rim custom, rear aluminum up to 15" wide. (I want to try them in the rear only with a mini tub (2") and 16-18" x 34.5-36". It'll take up all the space from rail to outside of the bed)
If you need the info PM me, I have it in the job file at the shop.
On Edit- IIRC nothing under 16" will fit on the front unless a guy converts to smaller brakes. With a drop spindle nothing under 17" will work unless you mod the spindle 1/4"-3/8".

I was chatting with someone once about converting to a half ton front hub assembly so a guy "could" run a 15" tire and smaller brakes but I dunno how much work that would be or if it would hold up to the HP/TQ we are throwing at it.
Thanks James...I was looking a few years back for Dad's 2WD dually, ended up with some treaded M&H's, now we'll use the Nostalgia 16X12s...I'd still like to know the name of the company...
Who in their right mind would downsize the brakes on these trucks just to run a slick? There's far too much weight and inertia to use 1/2 ton brakes, IMO. Only way I can see it is if you're talking about running high-$$ aftermarket setups.
