It'd be cheaper for him to go buy a new set of wheels that are the correct size than to try and make your take offs work.Not to mention running a 140 or 150 on that 3.5'' wheel in the rear is going to look ridiculous inside the larger fender on the later models.

Your hubs are going to be different with a single disc up front where he needs a hub for dual disc.Just way too much **** honestly.Much easier to go buy a set.
