6 lug conversion at stock height

Featured Replies

Hey guys, I just started the process of redrilling my hubs to make them 6lug and I was wondering if I'll run into issues if I leave my car at stock height. Or if anyone has tire size suggestions for a 15x6 rim that might fit (Im not opposed to cutting out the fenders as much as needed seeing as their already rusted to he'll)

I've got 195/60/15s wrapped around pugs on my wagon with no lift, and no issues.

6-lug wheels come in a huge range of dimensions...

 

Keep in mind, Subaru wheels have a very high offset/backspacing. So real low-offset (like most chevy truck wheels) 6-lug wheels aren't going to fit well at all. But stock Toyota ones are close, and I think I've seen some Isuzu and Nissan offerings that are even higher-offset, which would fit well.

 

Tire size will make a big difference, too. ASSuming the car your referring to is the '85 4WD Wagon in your signature, you should have a fair amount of wheel well clearance.

Thanks guys, I could have been more specific in my post but, I've got some alloys from an Isuzu trooper. So hopefully the offset won't be an issue

Letter909, How did the  alloys from an Isuzu trooper work out for you?

I'm curious about inside fender rub, tire size you chose, and if you have a lift.

Would you do it again?  thanks in advance.

I'm hopefully getting some steel isuzu rodeo wheels tomorrow. I'm planning on drilling the wheels not the Hubs.
