Gerry,
This is a subject that has been covered too many times to mention. It will depend on what rear suspension you have (swing axle or IRS) and how much clearance you have between your outside rear wheels and the inside of the wheel well. And if you have drums or discs and where they are, etc... It seems, if I recall my quest for the same, if you have an IRS rear with drums you are pinched for space as the wide 5 drums add track (.5 to 1 inch) on both sides. You may be OK if you do an entire disc conversion in the rear, I can't remember? It shouldn't be any problem for the front regardless of what you have because you have plenty of room to work with there. I think that's how it works but there are plenty of people on here that know plenty more than me. You can also do a search on it because as I mentioned, it's been covered alot.
