Ok, so I'm looking at putting an Isuzu D44 under my 97XJ. The Isuzu has rear disks which is a plus, but its a 6 lug. 6x5.5 to be exact. And a Jeep is 5x4.5. So insted of carrying two spares, one end needs to be changed. I found adapters that change it from 5 to 6, or 6 to 5. Origionally I was going to change the rears, but found out today my front wheel bearings need to be replaced.
So is there a way to replace the front wheel bearings/hub assembly and rotors with a 6 lug so I dont have to use dangerous and wide spacer/adapters in the rear? Also my rims are off a Ranger, and the previous owner had them torched on the inside to fit over the Jeep hubs. Now I get a hop at 50mph and they are impossible to ballance. So I need to buy new rims also. Also I guess the adapters need a bit of machine work, so I'd rather convert the front to 6 with stock parts if its possible.
