???? I don't think there will be a problem unless the wheel design is really bad.

Shoul have no problem. Smokie55's panel conversion has 15" rim with 6 lugs on the 83 Blazer 4x4 frame and axles.

i'm wanting at least a 10" wide rim, unknown backspacing. ideally, it'll be pretty deep. i saw the Dana 60 caliper grind article on CK5, and it kinda scared me. but, i remember now that at best i have a D44, NOT a D60, so i think i'll be allright.
