I don't know anything about the Chinese junk, but if you want to keep the 5x205 this is the one I'm eyeballing http://www.csp-shop.com/products/Produc ... 1452c/det/

if you want 5x130 then that is a whole lot easier, 944 NA fronts is a very standard upgrade nowadays.

I wish they would say if it pushes the offset. I am putting a set of BFG MTs on the truck and clearance might be an issue.

So what is different on the front brakes between a 64-67 and a 68-70, I thought they were the same, plus the csp kit is the same for 64-70.
