    is there such a beast? About to put a Jag XJ6 IFS under my '59 F100 and would like to avoid buying a whole new set of wheels. I run the stock steel wheels with chrome rings and center bullets, I was planing on getting a couple of stock chevy steels for up front and would like to get a universal wheel so I only need one spare.

  3. I would redrill the rear axle, or swap in another rearend, whatever's cheaper.
     
  4. Have never seen a steel wheel with those two patterns on one wheel. Changing the big circle to smaller on the rear should be the easiest route.

    Yeah I guess that would be the easier way, I just redid the bearings in the rear so no swap but I guess it could be redrilled to the 4.75 pattern. Doubt there is enough material on the front hubs to go up to the 5.5.

    Then I'd just need 5 15" stock chevy steels to make it work.

    Anyone in San Diego know a shop that could do the axle mod?
