5x5.5
 
Is there any way to make this bolt pattern work on our 5x5's?

Re: 5x5.5
 
not unless you drill your axles and rotors to accept the different pattern

EDIT: There may be adapters out there, but that will affect the width of the rim you can run....and some people swear against them.

What about a set of adapters to make a 5 x5.5 to fit?

Those adaptors are what he meant, problem is that they're about 1-2" thick so it can affect wheel choice. Also, some question strength/structural integrity..

I've seen guys use these adapters on all sorts of high horsepower/torque applications with no problems.Tighten everything up like you are supposed to with new aluminum and all would be fine,especially if all you are doing is drivin on the street.

The cast adapters are junk. Just make sure if you do run adapters you use the machined billet or steel version.

Thanks guys... I found the wheels I want on craigslist, so I'm going to look into some decent adapters that aren't a mile wide.
