Default can it be done?

I used to have a '92 454ss and ran staggered wheels 15x10, and 15x4.5. it looked badass with my 3/4 drop. now i have a 2001 RCLB silverado. I am running the factory alloys(16x7) with 295/50-16 and 225/60-16 tires. is there any way to make 15" wheels fit? either chacging the axl's ,spindles and brakes to the older style or modifying, the newer stuff.has anyone done this?

You would have to change everything the front sup. and rear sup. and no noone makes a 6 lug 16" race rim that I know of it has been a while ago I call everyone trying to find a set were I could get a set for the front "skinnys".I have thought of this already.

I seen lots of new nbs chevys with 15x10's all around. You have to grind off some metal off the brakes calibers off the top and your all set. My buddy has been driving his for over 30,000 miles without a problem with 15x10's.

It kinda the same deal people with Lightnings are doing to fit 15 inch wheels to get more available drag slicks sizes.

as for the 16" race wheelwheels, weld does make some bullet-hole ones and some others. there is only one person I know of that can get 6 lug "skinnys" and its roger's wheels out of winston-salem, nc.
