Default Going from 6 bolt to 5 bolt, not spacers, hub swap?

I have a 96, 318 4x4, and if you have one, and wheel it, you know you need anything better then the rims we have

I want to run 33x12.5 of wider, but i need offset.

I have access to a 90 dak, 318, 4x4, 5spd and all that fun stuff, but its 5 lug.

I need the rear diff cuz mine grenaded today, so what that means is, well, chevy rims on the back.

Is it possible for me to swap the hubs all around to the 5 lug?

i imagine i need the brakes etc,

has this been done? or is there a reason i cant?

I believe ya it would work. Not sure what differences there are but go check it out see what you find. Just to let you know I have 33x12.5r15 on my truck with stock rims. Yes it does rub on the frame when turning at full lock just back the steering wheel off by 1/4 of a inch and that is enough to clear it.
