i was able to make them work on my 87' 3/4 ton jeep. in the rear they fit with out any modifications but they hit the calipers on the front. my truck originally came with 16.5 rims, dont know if you have 16" or 16.5". anyway, i had to have wheel spacers made, had to buy longer wheel studs and do a little grinding on the calipers in order for them to clear.

I know lots of guys who run 15's on 3/4 and 1 tons because it is easier to find tires but the wheels need a heavy offset.

I run 79 chevy 3/4 axles with 15" rims, disc all the way around. (Blackbird's disc kit on my rear.) Mine are standard, 50 buck steelie wheels. I did have to grind a bit of the casting flashing off of the calipers to clear, but not really that much. One problem is that stick on weights will not work on the inside of the wheel- just something to think about.
