i think i heard the oldsmobile more than his fender lol
I was thinking about that. I like the look of them stock. But, what if I want to run some DD wheels and tires. The one I have on there now. Don't know if you have seen what I have. Do you just leave the rear 14 bolt alone and put dulley hubs on the front. Seems easy enough. I will have to look into that. What size tires are you running. Thanks.

Ha 
smart men run H1s and spacers so you can run all sort of rims

im running d60 with dually hubs up front, and a d70hd out of an '85 dually with 14b hubs and disc conversion (not the cab and chassis dually rear which is narrower). the rear has like 1/4" more wms to wms than the 60 dually, but much better than if running spacers where the rear is like 2" narrower than the front. i ran SRW 60 and 14bff before with 2" spacers up front and 2.5" spacers in the rear and it wasnt too bad, but i wanted the tires out from under the fenders a little bit more.
heres how mine sit with the dually axles front and rear
ideally if you could just find a 14bff out of a van and then run spacers the wms difference would only be like 1" and wouldnt be noticeable at all.
im running 42x14 iroks. if you are lookin for a dd rim/tire look at the H2 rims, they have 5.5" BS and sit nicely on the dually stuff, i test fitted my buddy's 40" MTR's on H2's and they sat pretty nicely.
if you want more info/pics just let me know
I'm getting confused. Sounds like many options available. I want to run my 38" toyos on 16" rims for DD. And run my H1s and 42" swampers or Pit Bulls for off road. So, I need to recenter the H1s. I like the looks of stock H1s, but couldn't run boths sets the way they are.

it wasnt too bad, but yea in order to tuck them all the way i need to cut alot more out of the fender there was a bunch more, but the fender rubbing made me stop, i was planning to take it up the roof
Yes you can run them the way they are just run spacers with the H1s.
My spacers are as thin as they can be with H1s they are 40mm that is about 1.5".
I don't want my truck to be wider than it is from the beginning that is why I don't use thicker spacers.

True. But I cringe at the thought of the 32 lug nuts that I have to change when I swap from street tires to trail tires. If there were 64 every time, I might cry.
