Couldn't find anything about this with the search. Hopefully I'm not the FNG pissing everyone off with the same old crap. So, here goes...

I've got a '99 'burban, DOA 20"s, dropped "6 on spindles, lowering coils up front, axle flip, c-notch & air assist in rear. It's actually a 4" drop but since it's a 1500 2x and not a 4x it's already 2" lower than all the usuall 4xs that the rest of the world owns.

My plans are to completely bag this rig out and lay frame, or as close to it as I can get and still drive it a couple times a month.

My biggest hang up right now is rims. I want to fill out my wheel wells but I'm having interferance with the front fenders. I'd love 24"s all around but will settle for a more realistic 22" in front and 24" at the back. Love the raked look anyway. Working with all the local rim and tire shops I've found I just have no offset selection with my 5 on 5 bolt pattern. I need about a +30 offset & 9" wide rim to get bigger rims in and I seem limited to +18s & 9.5"s at best. I could have just about anything I want if I had the 6 lug pattern from the 4xs. Or go supper pricey and have custom 3 piece wheels made.

Anyone ever convert a 1500 5 on 5 to the more common 6 lug? I figure an axle swap in the rear will fix the back, but the front hubs could be a problem for me. Should I find someone to weld and re-drill the existing hubs or is there a better way? The 6 lug gives me the whole world and I think will save me thousands if it can be done reasonably.

Thanks guys.
