Default Axle flange redrilling?

We picked up a nice set of Beadlock Specialty rims for Kays Commando but the new axles are 5 lug CJ pattern (5 on 5.5) and the rims are 6 lug GM and Yota pattern (6 on 5.5)

Converting the front axle should be easy using the GM hubs I already have but the rear I need to either have redrilled or buy a new set of shafts. I have found adaptors but they are a 2 piece style and Im not to sure of the strength of that design.

Looking for thoughts or input on this before I spend the $ on new shafts.

Thanks
Sean

I thought about selling them already. With the Yota your building you were the first to come to mind bro, but I cant seem to find a decent set used to fit the new axles.

Looked at several options and this is the cheapest by far.
Moser can plug weld ,redrill ,and true the flange for around $80.

I gotta pull the axle apart and mic the bearings etc to determine if they are GM or Jeep style.
Anybody got any info or a link on converting from 6 lug to 5 lug on a Dana 44 front axle i would appreciate it.

Thanks
Sean
