I've got some 9.5x30 15 inch winter Blizzaks that I'd like to keep and use on my 95 GMC K2500. Are there 6 bolt 15 inch rims that will fit? The overall tire diameter is pretty close between these tires and the stock 16" tires that are on the GMC now. Thanks.

"Normal" offset 15" wheels won't fit around the brake and suspension parts. you'd need a wheel with an offset of about 2", which would make your truck look like a jacked up lowrider, and have a turning radius of about 100'. Not to mention the ride quality....

Finding rims probably not an issue, or not as bad as finding rims that will accomodate the bigger drums and discs in the front, especially if it is 4 X 4. I tried and tried to find 8 bolt 16's for my 1979 3/4 ton Chev so I could get rid of the damn .5 and unless I was gonna spend some serious dough @ local tire shop I bowed out and heeded to the overpriced 16.5 tires. Just my two cents??????

If you have a lighter duty 6 bolt 2500 you might be able to use the factory 6 bolt 4x4 15's from a 70's and 80's chevy, I am not sure though.

Now that would be bad AND ugly! Thanks for the info.
