IF you're changing, why go to six lug?

Again, IF... then I'd advise going to 5x5 (truck pattern) or 5x4.75 (car pattern). There are dozens of ads daily for used rims of all kinds in these patterns.

Fortunately, my truck came with 5x4.75 and I happened to have a set of 15x7 old Torq Thrust wannbe's in the garage I'd never used. Those plus $60 for brand new take-off 75 series from an F150 and I was in business cheap. Best of luck.
