I'm betting the front hubs are 5 on 8 and the rears are 10 on 8. don't
need the extra 5 studs for the lightweight front axle that isn't
carrying the real load, and that would let you run 6 identical rims. I
can't see any spare holes in that front rim, though. but it would be
easy to have caps/ plugs that finish the holes in the front rimes, and
the picture isn't nearly high enough res to see those.

damn straight! and in a severely attractive package too (IMO). now if
only it had the diesel it was wishing for instead of some puny 5.9
gasser ;-)
I was googling to see if I could find any others, and failed miserably.
but be very, very careful if you do the same. a few pages into one of
my searches, a thread from this list came up, and the holder of a
certain curse was the originator. eep.
