Haha I have no clue about either..?
First thing's first, you now have much heavier and much larger wheels with a fraction of the rubber to support the bumpy roads. It's going to be a rougher ride.
Second thing is, check the box or reciept for the hub size, or some call it the bore size. That's the size of the hole in the middle of the wheel. That hole is supposed to be the same size as the axle so that it fits snugly instead of having a big gap. Tat helps support the wheel, and takes load off the lug studs, thereby reducing some vibration.
If you can't find the bore/hub size, call the place that sold you the wheels. Having the wrong sixpze center bore isn't a show-stopper, but it definitely helps. I accidentally bout the wrong bore size, and I don't have much of a vibration.
I also HIGHLY recommend you get a steering stabilizer....I'm about to offer a dual-shock custom setup to tyf members for around 200-250. Worth its weight in gold....

Also known as "CB" size in some instances....IIRC, your body style is a 79 CB but dblchk that...
They also make adapters in case yu have the wrong size, with 26' i would definitely get adapters if needed and defInitely get a dual stabilizer

ok ya I understand
Not trying to sell you on mine but you really will see an improvement from the steering stabilizer. With those big wheels, a single shock setup will wear the shock out in a shorter period of time...which is why i took my single off and fabricated a dual.... mine wore out enough for me to notice more jarring rom big bumps in about a years time and i have 24s which weigh in at 90lbs ea I think...urs are much heavier
When BOSS said adapters I think he meant to say hub centering rings. They are made out of plastic and they are not expensive. You need to take a pic of the wheel where it mounts to the rotor or just let us know if the big hole in the center of the lug hole is the same size as the raised part on the hub in the center of the rotor. I'm trying to put this in laymans (sp?) terms.
