I dont understand your question. If you bought rims and they dont fit then lug pattern is wrong. If your asking if you can swap a different rear axle under your truck then yes. But you have to make sure the gear ratio is the same as the front axle if 4x4. Also make sure your driveshaft and ujoint will work. Not worth the trouble if all you want is different rims. Just buy the correct lug pattern rims.
