No, you can't use that combo. First of all 15 inch wheels will not fit on your truck. The brakes are too large for them to fit. You have to use a 16 inch or larger wheel. Second of all, your bolt pattern is not 5x5.5 inches, it is 5x135mm. Also, your stock 265/70-17's are a 32x10.50 tire. I would not go to a smaller tire, especially if you are considering lifting your truck.
I would suggest going to a 16x10 inch wheel with a 305/70-16 (33x12.50) tire. To fit this combo, you will have to crank up your torsion bars a little or trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.
