Got somewhat of a crazy idea in my head, wondering what y'all though, even if it's possible...

Really digging those Raceline 2-piece billets and I want to put a set on my dually.

Will 1/2 ton spindles bolt up the my dually control arms? or do I need 1/2 ton stuff? will they even bolt up to my chassis? for a 22x8.5. big brake upgrade as well.

Back I was thinging about running the stock 8 lug steelies with a thick steel 8 lug to 5 lug adapter and run a 22x12 with some lip.

You guys think this is possible? I know I may be shunned for this but I'm sort of getting bored seeing semis. and want some lip on my front wheels.

The half ton stuff will work in the front. You will need to change the upper control arm or the ball joint in your arm. The reasr you can use a 14 bolt rear from a 454ss truck and have 5 lug and it all bolts in. Thats what was done on my truck.

cool, thanks for the info. Only thing is, I'd like to keep my wide fenders and 4 wheels in the back. How could I do that with a 5 lug bolt rear end?

What about some 24x14 rear wheels?

24x14s wont match my fronts nor bolt on a 5x5 lug pattern.

I believe you can get any of the Racelines in 24x14's, you would have to run a single rear wheel though.

Oh true, for some reason I thought you were refering to some super singles.
