anyone have the measurements on the width of a yota rearend. just curious how much narrower they are than the mazda. thanks guys! oh yeah, and what years do you recommend? and is the six lug yota rearend narrower than the stocker? thanks again!

I know 79-83 2WD axles are 55" wide. The nwere ones are a little wider.

thanks man, btw your truck is titties!! just seeing what my options are. maybe stick to 6 or would like to change to five front and rear. any other help/advice would be greeeeat!

my isuzu has a 90 rear end, it's 56 i believe. definently narrower than stock. personally, the wheel selection is a LOT better of course for 5 lug. other than that, the front conversion was a pain in the ass apparently. i'm kind of wishing i'd kept 6 lug now.

do the 5 lug, even if you redrill the hubs and axles.

Here is a comparison I use all the time.

Custom 18" 6 lug billets that tuck - $1600 bucks + tires. There are MAYBE 50 styles to chose from, and billet needs polished. Billet hoops bend too.

Redrill by Mike Brott to 5 lug $450 with shipping. ANY KIND OF CHROME 18" FWD 5 lug, like 2000 different styles, whels and tires on ebay start at $800 a set, and average $1100 a set FOR BOTH WHEELS AND TIRES.

so, $1600 for just wheels that you are 70 times more likely to see on every other 6 lug truck and are expensive to replace, or average $1550 for the 5 lug conversion with tires AND wheels, and change your wheels as often as you like.

The 89-95 toyota rear is roughly an inch narrower on each side than the mazda.

thanks again for your help. i like that comparison, never heard it before, definitely makes it seem worth it. i never knew how much redrilling was, so guess i need to start saving. oh yeah, do you know the downtime, roughly?
