i dont think so, but if someone did, it would probably cost almost as much to convert to 5 lug

If you can go 8 or 9" wide wheels, there are a bunch out there. Unfortunately, you would have to roll the lips of the fenders though.

Yup, you're right as long as you make sure the posi unit is in line to handle that as well. I went with a Richmond locker.

+1, the 8" is a strong little rear end. I found myself a reinforced MAE racing pumpkin with a locker. Now the axles are what you have to be careful of. the 28splines can be puney if you put too much torque to them (i've bent one before) Consider axle upgrades.

i believe it was ebluekeys that gave me this guys email who sells 8inch posi units, i wanted to buy one and my dad was supposed to have payed via paypal, and everyday i tell my dad to do that but he keeps forgetting. i have 28 spline 8inch, and i am set on getting this posi diferential. in my cleveland im shooting for at least 300, maybe around 350, 400 is way too much, but hey, if it gets there it gets there. my 8inch should be fine with around 350
