6 Alloy Dually Wheels?

[1dslram]

Is anyone running all 6 alloy wheels? I have 4 Eagle Alloy rims and they say to use the steel inside on the rear. Why not use longer studs and nuts and use 6 alloy wheels? I am wondering if anyone has done this and if it works and what is needed to do it.

I have 4 Alcoa wheels. Tried to get 6 and was told that stud lenght would be a problem on rears. What convinced me to run the 2 steel wheels on the inside rears was the fact that Alcoa's are only polished on 1 side and different part numbers for front and rears. Tire rotation is a different story. Was told that I can go from side to side and that rotation direction is not a factor on the newer radials. Anyone know if this is true?

The myth about switching tires rotation direction went out with bell bottoms and black & gold trans ams!!!!

Rotating is no problem with these tires, I just don't like seeing the steel inside wheel, I will get the insides powder coated black.

I ran 6 Alcoas with no problem regarding stud length.
