rotors and spindles

Does anybody know if 6-lug rotors will fit on a 5-lug spindle set up?

Re: rotors and spindles

80's models c10's came with either 1" or 1 1/4" rotors. If you have the 1 1/4" rotors you can order 6 lug 1 1/4" rotors from earlyclassic.com. I just ordered a set for my c10.

Got any advice? Thanks.

Yes.
But they have to be aftermarket rotors to work on the 5-lug (1-1/4" width rotor) spindles.
