I was a Les Schwab Tire Center yesterday to have a flat tire on my new John Deere Lawn Tractor fixed, when I noticed they realy have some nice looking wheels for the 6 lug bolt pattern. I think that the wheel companies are finaly starting to realize that there is a big market for them. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

I installed this exact kit about three months ago. You will be happy with the ease of install and the finished product. Hands down one of the best mods I ever did to my truck.
I don't know if you'll have the same issue, but I had to get a couple of adapters to hook up the proportioning valve. The lines were too big to fit into the block.

wes, thats why I stayed with 6 lug. The avability of 6 lug rims is growing fast. I had my eyes on a set of eagles for $280 each 17 inch.

When I bought my 18's for my truck I was amazed how many wheels were available for my 6-lug! American Eagle has a veritable plithera of them....

Sweet, that's on my list of "things to do". It doesn't matter how much you spend, there's always one more thing to replace.... If you're changing from drums, you'll want to change the proportioning valve also.
