you would have to swap the axles out and even then i dont think it will work. better off getting wheels with the right bolt pattern..

Welcome to the forum and Silver hit it on the head. Only thing you could do is a 2500 upgrade but your gonna have to refab some stuff.

you could always spend 200 bucks and get adapters also .
