There are no adapters to go from 5x5.5 to 8x6.5. Ask how I know.

Many jeeps run H1 wheels as they get them recentered for 5x5.5 pattern. So you'll have to search like the other guy that posted here. Not all jeeps are 5x5.5.

Typically recenter of the H1s will be a backspacing of 4.5" and this clear for turning. Only remaining issue are the control arms to make them slightly longer like .5" to push axle forward to avoid bad rubbing.

Research the H1s with vendors and other forums.

Dlyter09, whiteknuckle said that it can run anywhere from 1100 to 1600 to regear, and I've heard 1600 before too so it's probably more than 1200, but I need to get an actual quote first.

And whiteknuckle, thanks for the info on bolt pattern adapters. Anyone have some ideas on where to get some new rims? Seems like they are hard to find. Thanks a lot for all the help guys I couldn't figure all this out in my own.
