  • what size rims for dana 60s

    I need to start looking for some new wheels for the 60s, not sure what size wheels I can run though, there the 78/79 f250 60s. I was hoping I can run 15s but not sure with the brakes.

    most likely 16.5's will be easiest to find but i believe you can run 16's especially if you lan on discs in the rear..

      I run Blackbird Customs brackets on my Ford 60 front. They use GM 3/4 calipers and rotors. I have the same calipers and rotors on my rear 14 bolt. Blackbird markets the kit to people who want to run 15" wheels on a Dana 60. I run 16s.

        I'm definitely doing a disk brake conversion on the rear, using the blackbird custom kit. I was gonna gonna just use the stock fronts. I was going to look for h2 wheels.

          H2's are 17s I do believe. Shouldn't have any problem with those.

            would these work, but 6.5 inches wide, seems to narrow. i want something i can do beadlocks on eventually.

                    if you get a 16.5 inch rim, you can run those military tires (37's) that you find on pirate all the time for like $75 bucks a piece.

                            I run 16 x 9s with the creeps, stock front calipers. You will not get 15s on stock calipers unless the rims have 2" of backspacing, but then you're the wide-J. 17s are ideal cause everyone makes tires that size.

                            H2's are sweet, only way to bead lock is stauns though and they are about 600 bucks for a set.

                              I'm leaning towards 16in steelies,easy to do beadlocks later on and easier to find tires
