Re: Dana 60 5 lug conversion
Trouble with fitting a truck to a wheel is bolt pattern and back spacing. Wheels for a lot of the modern cars have a bunch of back spacing and you may run into issues with fitment. Ecspecially on the rear. What you will have to do is pull the rear end out and put the wheels with the tires on them up under the truck and build a rear end to fit between them. You may find the springs are in the way and you need wider wheel tubs. We have done this in the past when doing rears in drag cars. In the front swap over to the 73 to 87 1/2 ton front and then see what you will need for spacers and have some made to the correct thickness to get the wheels where they need to be. The other option is to convert the truck to 1/2 ton with trailing arms and sell the wheels you have. The buy a new set of wheels with the correct bolt pattern and back spacing with the money you saved from not going with the other wheels.
