DUH!! Yes, I meant 5x5.5". Sorry - fingers outran the mind...

Navy, I suggest you check wheel availability for the bolt circle you're thinking about before committing. The 5x5.5 is a truck size, while the 4.5" and 4.75" are much more common for aftermarket wheels. It will depend on what you're planning to run. Both Cragar and ET offered Uni-Lug wheels. My Cragar's are Uni-Lug, and had I known I could order a specific size vs the slots & washers I would definitely have done it. They are a royal pain in the butt to mount, as the shouldered lugs must all be started and hand tightened into the slots before spinning anything tight or else the wheel will bind on the lugs. They only provide 1/2" of adjustment - the standard is 4.25" to 4.75". You will not find a Uni-Lug that offers 4.5" to 5.5". Do yourself a favor and have your rear axles re-drilled, and either buy new drums or have them drilled, too if they're in excellent shape.
