Ok so you're saying I can get adapters so the front and rear wheels are the same? I just need to score 2 more wheels for the front then. Maybe off a dually pickup?
Yes the front is 8 lug.

Yep. In theory, that should work.

Front wheels off an SRW 1 ton truck will be different than off a dually truck. SRW are fairly flat. The dual wheel trucks have the front wheels off set out a bit so all the wheels are the same. The inner wheel in back goes in deep and the front will match that.

Yes that is what I thought to be the case, thank you for the confirmation. I was looking at something like this on eBay, click here. I figure a wheel like that and the spacers off the dually front wheels which seem to be 2.5 to 3 inches or so, would do it. I guess I need to buy 3 of these, 2 fronts and a spare.
