I dont think it would really matter.... I would just make sure that they stick out far enough to protect the lockout.

EDIT: I dont think you can get your width back, and if you could, I'm pretty sure your lockouts would stick out past the edge of the tire and be a catcher for everything. Toyota is 59" wms to wms, a D60s are around 69" wms to wms... that means you'd have to tuck each wheel 5" inward...

Really, you're doing a D60 swap and ask a question like this?

Wish I had the kind of money to throw at some axles without doing any research first...

First off, just to reinforce what everyone else said, you're not getting that width back. Secondly, your sig line is kinda funny but a BJ is actually an overseas Land Cruiser model. Just thought you should know...

Being that they bring over $1000 for a set, I think I would sell them. Unlike whatever idiot gave them away.

But that's just me.
