They will fit fine on 6 lug trucks, but yes the offset is an issue, you can run spacers if you wish.

You would have to convert the front spindles and rear axles. Surely that can be done, but I am not for sure. Anybody got any insight on this?
It can be done, the 5 lug trucks are 5x5" that's only .25" different, the hubs/brakes/axles can all be redrilled quite easily.

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. It reminded me of the old Red Skelton skit where the wife screwed all the furniture to the ceiling and the drunk came home and tried to go to bed.

I have never heard of redrilling. wouldn't the lug holes be elongated? or do you redrill the pattern clocked a few degrees from the original pattern?

Do you have those wheels spaced out at all, do they rub or anything?
Those are 2010, right?
