Hey folks...First, I'm passing it on 'cause it was requested knowledge a
little white ago...It's up to you to worry about bakspacing and offset and
gearing!

Got the rear drum off my 75, and took it to work...for weeks and weeks.:)

Finally got a chance to check it with the 95 Jeep Wrangler of a
coworkers..Stuck drum up on his spare tire mount...FITS!  I figure if 3
studs fit the other two will be in the same pattern...

A few more tidbits...Somewhere in the early 90s Jeep changed the bolt
pattern...Not sure exactly, and neither is Free. (the guy who's jeep it
is..)  But he does know that his rims wont fit on an 88...

Next time I'm up at the Jeep store picking up a car, I'll swing in the
parts/service side, and talk at 'em, see what they say..

Or maybe one of you can call your local dealer, and ask them when and
what...Just dont tell 'em you wanna put jeep rims on a vanagon! (or
bus...:)

Later...david
