You have to do nothing, just mount your wheels as you're used to.

so why do people always talk about changing their hubs and stuff? is that just on dually matching fronts?
sorry if this post really is stupid i just thought they were different.

you have a dually, it's narrower than fullwidth. if you want it fullwidth (~69"), you need different hubs, if you want it narrower (~63") just slap some wheels on it.

that's sounds like the width for a front dually d70.
what is it out of?
my friend just got one out of motorhome that had larger diameter lugs that only took funky lug nuts.

Some D70's have lefthand threads on one side for lugs. They can be changed to righthand very easily, just drive them out with a heavy hammer. Keep in mind some of the older axles had "coined" rims meaning there is a bevel on the hub mounting surface around the lugs. A normal flat mounting surface rim will not bolt up properly and cause a really bad vibe kind of like driving with an unbalanced wheel. These small bevels can be ground off to make the mounting surface flat again once the lugs are removed.
