It should fit just fine, if it's available in 8 bolt.

Summit has them, about $30 per rim, your choice of backspacing

you don't have to worry about going to a larger rim until you get to a 14 bolt. then, you can still grind away to make a smaller rim fit.

DP-

Call the wheel company and ask them what the drop center bore measurements are on the wheels they are selling. Figure what your dcb is and compare the two and see if it will work for you.

For example, eaton has extra HD steel wheels and their dcb is 13.50". (They take 2-3 weeks for the custom backspacing.) Stockton has only 13" dcb and take 6 weeks for custom bs. Their rims are too weak for rocks; unless you are really good with a hammer. Their GVW per wheel is only 1600 lbs as opposed to Eaton's 2,800 lbs. Huge differences for rock crawling....

I have only been able to find 5" backspacing w/o having to get custom wheels made. Let me know if you find a stock +5 backspacing...I need 'em too!

How about we get some Hummer wheels? 7" of backspacing!

I got mine from Rockstomper (15X10) with 3" BS. I went for the button heads too.

:confused: Then how come I had to grind the piss out of my 8 lug D44 to make a 4.25 BS 15x10 rim fit?

I am going to venture a guess, but that 44 you are talking about is a FRONT axle. They are talking about full floater REAR axles....

Back when I purchased mine, I think they were like $130 for the black rockcrawlers plus $10 for the button heads + shipping ($80). Now I think the prices are up like he said he was going to do after Xmas. An extremely good product though. Very beefy.
