Haha, this thread has been hijacked by the OP, it's now a wheels thread.
Here's my build thread:

Nope,, not gonna get a D60 w/5 on 5 1/2,,, I have seen spacers,,, they go from 8 lug to 5 lug,, but it adds about 1" to 1 1/2" I think,, so you can adjust that by offset,, but why not just buy some Mickey Thompson Classic II's in 16x10 in 8 lug,, gonna be better all around in the long run,,,
MY BAD,my bad,,,, I was thinkin about this later,,, they were 6 lug to 5 lug,, not 8 to 5,, just wanted to clear that up.

I will bite the bullet soon though, it's time for some wheels, gotta set up the front end and don't want to stick out too far past my new fiberglass fenders. Need the wheels that will ultimately be used for mach up.

Can you post the links here? Let's grow this thread in case other people have the same question.
Is a corp 14 like a 14bolt Gm rear end? I've heard that they're strong too.
I was hoping there was an interchange so I could go to a pick n pull and grab a pair of hubs for like $20, then grab some used wheels for like $150ish or whatever. $400 would be my max, I just gotta get off my azz and order some I guess

As for corp 14 bring the GM 14 bolt - yup - same deal different name. It's a STRONG axle that is dirt cheap most times. I got my last one for free & see them for $100 or so. Just make sure you get the full float version.
For that last part about cheap/easy - I wish! By the way - I think Cone makes a 5 lug hub for these from the 8 Class 8 days but I'm sure you know his stuff ain't cheap!
I just realized I missed your last question, The 10" wide wheels is just for plannning ahead. I have a brand new set of 315/75 16 BFG all terrains just sitting there waiting for rims. when they wear out I will go to 37's. I just want to be able to upgrade in the future without having to always buy new rims.
Ok - it's share the wealth/knowledge time!
all good, but 4th post from bottom talks about machining stock hubs for 5x5.5! Dana 60 Vs 14b ff AGAIN [Archive] - Off-Road Racing Forum - race-dezert.com
