Jeff, correct me if I'm wrong, but 6k and 7k brakes are the same. 5k is a smaller size, unless there is a bigger optional brake assembly.
Although I haven't researched it further, I was told that 6k drums have smaller wheel studs than 7k!
Might as well get 8 lug 16" wheels because they may be easier to find replacements for.
