Hopefully by christmas time I can buy some new wheels and tires. Im thinking of getting those pirelli scorpion atr tires (275/55/20), they seem to be great tires by the reviews they get.

And I would love to get these Driv offroad Blitz Black wheels.
Wheels

Only problem is, that it looks like that wheel only comes in an 8 lug pattern. And me with me 03 1500 with the 5x5.5 lug pattern that wont work. but ive heard of conversions to make it 8 lug, do they actually make those??

 

A while back I asked about converting the front hubs to 8 lug on the 1500 Ram because I was considering swapping in a 2500 rear axle (8 lug). The only way I came up with making the front 8 lug would be to machine some front hub 'blanks' and have them drilled for the 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern. I haven't had my wheels off enough times (27,000 miles so far) to look and see whats involved in changing out the front hubs, but it would be an interesting conversion.

 

my best friend has the pirelli scorpion atr tires on his 06 fj crusier... after 5 thousand miles it looks as if they are still brand new and they did great in sugar sand. only one complaint one night we went around a corner at aobut 15 mph and he barely rubbed the tire and a chuck 1/2 inch deep came out of the side wall.

 

Im sure they make adapters. Just gotta find them.

 

I still cant find any adapters. Is it possible to put an 8 lug hub onto a 1500 axle??

 

I just replaced my tires and went from the crappy goodyears to general grabber uhp's in 275/55/20 and DAMN! these things rock. Exceptional traction and stability wet or dry. Its no wonder they rank #1 in their class
