Im getting ready to do a sas conversion i have 38.5 tyres on 15 inch rims i was wondering if they make 8 lug 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern or if i have to upgrade to a 16 or 16.5 rim id rather not because i like the tire and rims i have and besides i already have them and i dont want to drop another 1k on tires

btw axels are dana 60s front and rear

 

I think they do make them, but they're pretty rare. You might call one of the wheel companies in the Off-Road or 4 Wheeler and see if they have them.

 

they are rare to find in a showroom but they are just as common. you can go to a 4x4 shop and order them like that and it shouldn't cost any extra.

you can also swap rotors and hubs... find a 5 lug rotor off a f150 and it should work. you will have to figure which bearing to use.... i can't remember off the top of my head what it is

I had a set of 15x10 8-bolt rims that I gave to my cousin (I needed 5-bolt). They were the old wagon wheel style and I got' em pretty cheap from someone on FTE.

Check ebay, I see a set come up every now and then.

Champion Wheel makes them.

 

I was under the impression that the 3/4 or 1 ton brakes wont fit a 15" rim. Thats why you don't see a whole lot of huge tires and 15" rims. It takes a lotta work to get there.

 

how does that work? there is a very great size difference there. bearing spindle wise, last i looked, it didnt even look like one of my old 1/2 rotors would fit over my D60 hub, id machine down the D60 hub outer surface so the rim will fit, then weld and re-drill to 5-lug pattern. or just go 8-lug

you could either run 2.5 BS or convert to chev 3/4ton stuff so you could grind away what rubs.

well thats why i said it .:should:. work! i have never actually done it and really haven't ever looked into it but i have heard of ppl doing it. so don't take it for gospel but i am pretty sure it's possible.

my 39's haven't lasted long! to give you an idea i got them just a lil over a year ago (Feb) and have run them since. i can't give you an accurate mileage as my odometer hasn't worked since io have owned but i can guess consdiering i know the mileage of everywhere i go so i can ball park it and say it's been about 18,000 miles. the middle tread is wearing thin but luckily i do still have a good bit of side tread! i'd definitely get them again b/c they are incredible offroad! i have never been stuck b/c my tires wouldn't grab... only that my axles are try to be a bulldozer (time for some taller meats).
