6 bolt conversion on 87 2wd
I've read thru a bunch of the threads and can't seem to find the answer to a couple of critical questions. To get it out of the way, I want to go 16" to increase to increase my tire options, and not interested in megabuck rims for 16" 5x5 bolt patterns. I live on a dirt road and drive in Michigan salt so cheap wheels are the thing for me.
Route 1 - Aftermarket 6 bolt front hubs. Are the offsets on late model wheels such that the wheel is spaced out properly, and will they clear the A arms while turning? I'm going to assume that with 16" they will clear the brakes. Route 2 - 90's light 3/4 hubs and spindles, 3/4" lower A-arm with 90's ball joint. Where does this position the wheel, and will it clear the lower arm? Many thanks!
