i wanted to get some rims from jeg for my truck, but i plan on doing an SAS soon and i wanted to know, will i be able to keep the same lug pattern? Also, how many inches of backspacing do i need?
 






are u going to use a dana 30 for your sas? if so then yes u can keep the same wheels. otherwise yer bolt pattern up front will be different. as far as back spacing it depends on how wide of a stance u want. how high do u plan on going? do u want 15x10's or 15x8's?
 






i was actually thinking either dana 40 or currie 9" up front and a Ford 9" out back, all full width of course. Couldn't i just get a custom rotor drilled, cause won't the front and the back be differnt patterns anyway? I was thinking about ruinnning like 35 or 38's.
 






if the 9" out back and the front 44 are from the same truck or have the same bolt pattern then yer front and back will match. but neither will work with the wheels if u buy them now for yer stock set up. u could always get it redrilled. or buy adapters or whatever. but all in all it would probably be cheaper and easier to jus wait on wheels till u get around to doing the axle swap. and if it were mine i'd go with a 36x14.50 or some 37's cuz my 35's jus seem kinda small now and besides yer axles will be strong enough to handle bigger than jus a 35" so y not.
