Not sure if this is correct,,, but i read somewhere about someone using a 5 stud hub from mustang to convert the front. and the rear you could just find a spring under axle
with 5 lugs. im sure there is info out there

Thank you.XSubaruJeepDude
 
By chance did you read that on a Dakota/Durango forum or a Jeep forum, I'm very interested.
if you can try and remember where. I'd be grateful.
Thank you for your help. I'm going to try and see if I can find anything on what you described.

One thing you can research ( aside from using adapters) is taking your hub to a machine shop and having the studs pressed out and having them machine out a 5 lug pattern in the hub. Would get a bit costly though.

I read that too. But remember back in early 2000 the blue Dakota sniper it had five lug wheels on it.
I really appreciate your time and info, and your interest too help. Thanks XSJD

A number of times someone wanted a 6 to 5 conversion but nothing ever came from it. If it was easy Im sure it would be available or show up on the forum but I've never seen it.

Does the Dakota 6 bolt suck .............yea

Thanks for your input 98DakAZ
 
Yes hard to find great looking wheels unless you want off road , not what I'm wanting.
low and aggressive 20" with 2"&4" drop is what imI looking for😎

I bet rims on this sniper kit are 6 lug

I found this video. maybe it will help. this fellow might be able to tell you how he did his.

I have to wonder if maybe the Stinger image you referenced maybe used adapters like these.

This was the first one I saw back in early 2000.
Thanks for the heads up on the video 🤓
