6 lug to 5 lug
 
Now that I am changing to a 5 lug rear out of a Camaro I want to convert the front to 5 lug. I am still using the original front axle with the newer bearings and disc brakes. What 5 lug hubs will work and what rotors.
Once I am done I will have the 6 lug hubs and rotors if any one needs them.

I've never seen a factory hub/rotor that was a direct (with bearing change) swap.

Most guys use the CPP or other available kits to do the swap.

I thought I read that the same-era chevy car hubs interchanged with the truck hubs. I'm not 100%.

I can say for sure that Rockauto lists the same bearings for the 210 series as for the truck.

The CPP kits include hubs from 69-77 mid-size cars iirc. That's what the boxes said on my kit.

I bought the kit through Speedway, along with a dual-pot master/booster and the installation was fairly hassle free. You have to grind one tab off the calipers, other than that everything bolts/slides on just nicely. I guess you might could save a buck or three by piecing the thing together on your own and fabbing/buying brackets. For me it was worth it to buy the kit.

Chevy passenger car hubs up to 1954 will fit your axle. However this doesn't mean the hub offset will be correct for your disc brake kit.

If you're using your factory 6 lug hubs then offset should be the same, check to make certain if you can find the passenger car hubs.
