I was going to use smoothies on my flatbed project, but, I am now wondering if anyone makes 6 lug duals.

I think it would look cool with them.

Thoughts? Pics? Links?

Thanks,
Steven

I do not think so, most 1 ton wheels are 8 lug, you could change out the rear axle and front crossmember from a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton and you would be ready to go, but that would be a lot of trouble.........

I found some 6 to 8 lug wheel adapters, but they're quite pricey. Not sure if the studs are long enough for duals either:

I was afraid of that. I looked at a set of npr six lug, but they are not on 5.5".
