AND SINCE THIS FORUM IS ON TON OR MORE TRUCKS,..
If money is not a problem try some adapters.

I know adapters are out there, but I have no experience with them, so other than pointing you toward a google search for Adapters I can't offer much help on them.

(Edit) I do know about these adapters which were used to run 20" and work just the same for the newer 22.5" rims. However they are extremely hard to find, but as I mentioned, if something is out there (actually does exist) and you want to find it then chances are you can, I did.

This section is for 1 tons only, the big bolts section deals with trucks larger than a ton, which sounds like your truck more resembles than a 1 ton.

Sorry I don't have all your answers or know about your special truck. I know more about the Advance Design trucks and about the late model 5 and 10 lug axles. I know very little about the trucks in between, like yours.
