wheel bolt pattern change?

i went wheel shopping today planning on ordering something. didn't happen. the only thing we came up with with the right size and back space are torque thrust IIs. i like torque thrust wheels as much as the next guy, but, was hoping to do something a little different. if i could change the bolt pattern to 4 3/4 the whole world would open up.

the rears axles could be drilled to the new pattern easy enough. the front, though. is a different story. i'm thinking there very well could be a brake rotor out there that would fit the truck and have the right pattern. anyone done this?

i'm not going to use adapters. the size i was concidering is 20x10 with 5" back space and 18x8 with 4" back space. the wheels i was looking at are actually the rev classic that looks just like the torque thrust II.

the guy quoted me $1650 mounted, balanced out the door. not too bad. i concidered coys, then i saw too many horror storys about guys not getting thier wheels.

the wheel i really like is the american eagle 225. 6 weeks back order. damn.

oh yea, mine is a 72 short fleet. 5" rear spring and about 4.5 total on the front.
