i have a waggy d44 that im going to swap into my XJ
i have done some research and seems everyone switchs from the 6 lug to a ford 5 on 5.5 and you end up with the small bearing spindles what im wondering is there a way to go to 5 on 4.5 so it matchs my rear d44 so i dont have to buy new wheels and convert the rear end too i mean im going to end up making it smaller to go with the 5 lug it seems so why replace my wheels and everything

I haven't really looked onto this, but if you don't mind a wider stance I know you can get a 5 x 5.5 to 5 x 4.5 adapters/ wheel spacers for your front. Then you would just need some wheel spacers for the rear!

I'm sure someone else can chime in with a better option, via axle shaft swap. Just given some input

a 5x4.5 swap can be done but its with crap dodge parts that wont hold up. do the 5x5.5 swap and run bolt on spacers/adapters for the rear.

they dont make 5x5.5 to 5x 4.5 for the front. the lug pattern is to small to work with a hub.

so my best option is to go ahead and change wheels and all then
more then i was wanting to spend but id rather not break it the first trip out lol
thanks for the help guys i figured there was a reason no one was going to the 5 on 4.5 but couldnt find it
