I am working on my spare tire hanger. I have an OEM hanger with the 6 lug pattern. These are the 2 options I see to make it work for a 5x5 lug pattern...

Cut all 3 studs off and weld a 7-8" circular disc to the front with 3 new studs in the correct pattern

OR

Leave the face OEM cut the 2 bottom lugs off and weld 2 new studs in the correct place on the OEM face..See pic.

Which do you think would be a better solution? I am also open to other suggestions. Thanks!
