    I'm trying to calculate a wheel offset requirement for some d44 wagoneer axles I want to run, what is the OEM WMS to WMS dimensions on an early 5? (55-65)

    Also, what is the negative back spacing on the OEM wheels? From the pictures I have seen of the early OEM wheels, they appear to be 15" x 5.5" wide?...I am assuming a zero back spacing ( 2 1/2" outside and 2 1/2" inside WMS)

    Stock front D25/D27 is 51.5" Rear D44 is 50.5.

    Your waggy will be about 59" on the front - that is what I am putting in my sons Scout Build.

    Thanks, mine are wide trac. 63 front 61 rear. Planning on running a 6" back spaced wheel.

    You can build a simple rear disc for the 6 lug set up, could use on your waggy axles I believe?

    >77 3/4 T chevy calipers
    >2006 Tundra 6 lug rotors (same size as the 3/4T chevy rotors...but 6 lug)
    >4wdfactory weld on caliper brackets ($45 set)

    The key is have apprx 1/8" removed from the flange OD on the d44 axles, so that they will index into the Tundra calipers. Everything else should bolt & weld up. I'm going to try this route, I'll let you know how it comes out.
