I have already planned to purchase new rear 10 lug rims when they become available at a cheaper price in the spring from wheels now, but the 5 lug fronts have me scratching my head. I can have them custom made for about $335 a piece but I would like to find a cheaper alternative if its possible but I'm thinking I will end up going the custom route. Does any one have any specs or info they could share with me on these 5 lug wheels?

Each wheel has ten stud holes on an 8.75" bolt circle, the wheels when used on the front axle only use five studs/nuts there were cover plates for the front wheels that would hide the fact that you were only using five of the ten holes in the wheel. I have tried to verify about the cover plate on your year of truck, but so far I have not come up with a part number for the cover plate, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 35 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 35 | These are pics of my front wheels as it sits now. I also included one of the rear setup. So essentially I could just add five more studs to the drum and make these 10 lug?
