6 lug to 5. Possible?
My fiances dad just bought a class 8 Baja truck for Baja 500 in June. He got sponsered by Goodyear and he has about 4 sets of wheels and tires he doesn't need and he said I could have.(Mickey Tompson Baja Claw 35", Pro Comp Extertian 35", and two others I forget) He said I could have them but the wheels are 5 lug. Is there a kit or some way to convert my 6 lug to 5 lug without spending too much $$?
BTW, I have a 95 Auto v-6

Yes, there is a way. There is something like this: http://www.protrux.net/products/acce...cers/index.htm
that goes on your 6 lugs, but only has 5 lugs on it. Don't know where to find one though.

there might be an easy way to switch to 5 lug. go look at the Lexus LX 470, im sure that since its a toyota product you might be able to easily swap the hubs to make your rig 5 lug. really thats the only toyota truck that i know of besides the 2wd tacos or compact trucks that are 5 lug.

you sure can---there has always been a way to switch the nissan 6 lug trucks to toyota 5 lug just by getting a kit that switched the discs. in fact, why dont you try the easy way and get some 5 lug 2wd toyota parts and see if they just pop right on there.

Here are some links for you all...adaptors are everywhere these days. Truckin Magazine has a great connection as well, I would call them first. I dont have their mag here, but if you flip thru any copy, you'll see the add. Links below:

http://www.performancewheel.com/Index_Adapt.cfm
Those are just a few...run a search and you will get endless results. I think Wheeler's Off-Road in OR even carries some.
Good Luck.

No, the Lexus and Land Cruiser 5 lug will not help because they have a unique bolt pattern. They are 5X150mm, and no other vehicles use this pattern. What you will nee to find out is what the bolt pattern is on the 5 lugger and then go buy a set of adaptors to convert you 6X5.5 to the 5 lug pattern. However, this is only a band- aid solution since these adaptor are made for street cruising, not rock climbing so they have the tendencies to break under stress. Also, a true beadlock wheel is illegal for street use. As I recall when I was working in the wheel industry, a set of these adaptor can be purchased from any wheel accessories shop. They cost about $50 a piece from the wholesaler plus any profits tack onto them by the shops. Hope this helps.
