ok, so i have found a pair of 8 lug jeep j20 axles. the front is a dana 44 and the rear is dana 60 with disc brakes from a dana 70 im told. i have been searching online for hours with no avail for some 15x10 rims that will fit these axles. am i on a wild goose chase?? if you would drop me a line at elyria_boy@yahoo.com it would be appreciated.

You very well may be on a wild goose chase! Is there a reason you want to run 15-inch wheels with these axles? Is it the jump in tire price? I would recommend looking around for some 16.5-inch wheels. The larger wheels will clear the calipers of your axle’s disc brakes better. If you find and use use a 15-inch wheel on these axles you may have to shave your calipers. This is something that can be done but we don’t recommend. Pro Comp sells economical 16.5-inch steel wheel with an 8-lug (8x6.5) pattern. www.procomptires.com/series51.htm  

I hope this helps?

I have a 78 jeep cherokee that I put a dana 60 and a 14 bolt in. I put 15 inct wheeles with 4 inch offset wheeles and miner grinding of the calpers. afterwards I found out that you dont have to use such an extreem offset but you will have to grind the calipers some more. good luck with your new axles.
