Default Any 8 Lug Guys running a 15 inch Rim?

Any of you guys running a 15 inch rim? Sounds like it can be done fairly easy on the 1500s by grinding down the calipers. Is it the same deal with a 2500HD? I want to run a 30 inch drag radial front and rear (4X4 launch) but it doesnt look like those are made for any sized rim other than 15. Checked M&H, Hoosier and MT. Thanks.

I think the dual piston calipers on our HDs are going to hinder that fit significantly. Ill check caliper sizes tonight at work and get back to ya tomorrow with the size differences.

Cool, I was doubtful but thought I would ask. Having a hard time finding a tire wheel combo that I like. Everything I can come up with is either too tall or to wide.

i know with lots of the older 3/4 and 1 ton stuff, you could run real low backspaced wheels...i have a set of 15x10 with 2 3/4" bs but its on my trail rig...def would look goofy on a newer 2500hd.
