The Revcon uses the Toro front end all the way out to the rotors. THen they added big wheel adaptors to go from Toro five lug to an eight inch five lug pattern.

In the back they used really wide 16.5" X 12.5 to get the weight on a single tire.

If i convert the front to GMC by changing rotors, hubs, etc. what wheel options does that give me?

Does the GMC use a common pattern?

I'm thinking the best option for the rear is to change the hub, perhaps by attaching a new axle, maybe from full float one ton rear end.

But I think a full understanding of what was done on the GMC would be helpful.

Does anyone know the difference in width between the GMC and the Toro?
