Yeah, you can....just requires modification (fender flares) to the front
and rear.  There's a Reiger kit that's not the wide-body style which
comes with fender flares and requires 15x8 to fill the wheel wells. 
Either that or make your car look like a rollerskate with the wheels
sticking out.  

Another route you might try is a 16x7.5 setup which, with the right
tire, can look as fat as 15x8s.

P.S.  You're out at Scott AFB?
