Re: wheels
when you look for 6 lug rims, look in the 4X4 section of the catalogs. If you put 85 K/5 in as a search, you'll get wheels that'll clear disk brakes, and have the right size hole for the hub.

Re: wheels
as you can see in the pic, i have those mounted to the original drum brakes.
the fronts use a 6 lug to 6 lug 1 1/4 inch adapter. the adapter is needed mostly to get the con-cave center cap to clear hub. i feel that the 1 1/4 adapter is a little to much. i will not be able to lower much more with that tall tire on it. when i switch to disk brakes no adapter will be needed. the rear uses a 2 inch adapter, that gives a perfect backspace. note 68 rearends are narrow by 1 inch on each side. |

Re: wheels
57 1/2 inches verses 56 inches.
It's actually 3/4 inch per side. My mistake. Glad I pulled out my notes to confirm it. |
