i just got 3 d 60 rears and 1 d44 front. one of the 60's is from a van and not the same width as the other 2 so i'll probaly sell it, but the other 2 and the 44 are from a full size dodge and are 8 lug.
questions are, do yall think 15 inch rims will fit these axles and does someone even make 8 lug 15 inch rims? I was hoping on 15 inch rims because used tires are easier to find for them than 16 or 16.5 ones.
and the front 44 doesn't have the flat top knuckles so whhat can i take them off of and will they just bolt up?
and do yall think 500 for 3 60's and a 44 is a good deal <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
thanks alot for any info

It's not a bad deal, but it's not great either. Those rear 60's are all most likely 30 spline units. You'd be better off narrowing one of them a bit and installing 35 spline SF axles. The 30 spliners are no stronger than a 44.

This topic has been covered approximately 1.5 million times on this board. 15 inch wheels DO fit and are available. Now go forth and search the archives.
