if cost is a concern it may be best to run what you have until you have saved up to swap new axles and brakes into the 14bolt with new rims and tires to match.

yes sir I know the rear end is wider, I will not be using the same wheels as I will be going 6 lug, and the brakes I aint worried about, I like the idea of the heavy duty drum brakes on the rear, I plan to run 16s or bigger anyways which will clear.
