Exclamation how to get 5.5 wheels on 5x135mm hub

Hey guys i can get a set of 15" 5x5.5 wheels for $80 but i believe my truck is 5x135mm, how could i get that to fit? any ideas? adapters? or could i drill out the stud whole out just that 0.18 of an inch? and you may ask why i have 15'' tires but i got a pair for $30 so i cant beat that deal, and all i have to find is two more and plus they were bfgoodrich all terrains !!

I'm not sure that 15" wheels will clear the brakes on the 97-03 trucks.

Pass and get wheels that fit. Ditto the brake issue--don't go grinding on your calipers for example.

Just because something is cheap does not make it a bargain.

egg shaping the holes 3/16 of an inch is not a good idea. What will keep them centered and tight ?
