Alrighty. I plan to put a Waggy 44 under the front of the Jeep here in the next couple weeks... I have an explorer 8.8 in the back.
I certainly want my wheels to match so I'll have to either change my rear pattern to 6x5.5 or my front and rear pattern to 5x5.5.
Now, from what I understand the only pattern that I can convert the Waggy44 to is 5x5.5 then buy adapters for the rear to make the 8.8 5x5.5 and buy a whole new set of wheels.
Second option is to find custom shafts for the 8.8 to use the 6x5.5 pattern... The only good thing about this is that I won't have to change the front over at all and I ALREADY have a complete set of black 6x5.5 wheels...
Second option seems much more practical.
Question is where can I find those shafts... Explorer 8.8 with discs with a 6x5.5 pattern. and what would I have to do with the rotors? I figured I could slap them on the mill and redrill them as long as the hub locates them once they're on the axle...
