Is it possible, are there places that can do this? I like my wheels but am converting to 6 lug on my jeep..

Yeah, those are sweet rims. I have one and it seems really tough.

If anyone could do it, it would have to be Stockton.

COuld you ask them about going from 6 lug to 8 lug for me? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I *think* stockton only works with steel wheels.

I suppose if you really had to have those wheels it could be done. Maybe have the holes welded up, then remachine the wheel, then drill new bolt pattern. I would imagine it would be $$$$$.

It looks like a good operatunity to get rid of the shank lug nuts. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Why not wheel adapters? you need the extra width anyway

I am gaining over 5" just by going to toy running gear <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

I'd consider adapters - ok where do I get those?

they sell adapters, but you would need at least 1.5 inch to clear the studs easily

"Note: Performance Wheel can not convert to a different number of lugs ( i.e. won't convert from a 4 lug to a 5 lug, etc.). We require 2 weeks to build your spacers/adapters, plus the standard UPS shipping time."

$260 for the adapters! Wheels are cheaper I think!

Brandon - check around... I recently sold a set of the same wheels for cheap... they can stock on older Cherokee's and are - you guessed it - 6 lug <IMG SRC="smilies/glasses.gif" border="0">

Oh yeah I forgot about those... I have a set in my garage!!! but they are narrow, seem like 15x6 or 15x7

hahaha, oh man, i did not see that, but if they don't change the lugs, what's an adapter for?

It seems like it should be fairly easy to change the bolt pattern. Just weld them up and redrill them. all you should need is a welder with aluminum rod or wire and a mill.
