Re: Best choice for wheel lug pattern 5x4.75 or 5x5

I’m with Tim on this. Converting to the small car (big car, ie Caprice, Impala used same bolt pattern as the trucks) makes zero sense. And for me, staying 6 lug made zero sense as the wheel choice is just too limited in building a “hot rod” type truck.

Convert to 5 lug discs, use truck 5x5 pattern. Be done.
