there is NOT the correct room to do this unless you change the whole center out basically .
and to know ANY rims offset / backspace its simple and easy .
rim laying flat on its face ( put towel / cardboard down to protect the face first tho ) and then straight edge on the rim its self were the wheel weights clip . then measure up from the lug nut seat face were the rim touches the rotor or drum to the straight edge . and there you go you now know backspace / offset .
crazy i dea i have always had is maybe use 6 lug 2wd rotors ment for older 67-72 type stuff on the front and a set of 6 lug axles and drums on the rear to make a 2wd a 6 lug combo .

I'm with you, but I just got the truck and it's currently getting the brake lines fixed in a buddy's shop, so I don't have it right now. I'm looking at all the different options as far as wheels go and what to use. I know converting the 22" GM Transports cost around 1200 for the set to make them 5 lug, which is about the same price as the other wheels mentioned. Appreciate ya
