4 3/4" bolt pattern
Hi guys, I'm working up a 65 LB.
I have so many wheel/tire combos that I don't want to buy any more. What can I use to change a 6 lug drum brake set up to a 4 3/4-5 bolt pattern? I really don't need disc brakes unless mandatory to achieve my goal. I have a perfect set of Camaro Z28 wheels/tires that I think would do nicely. So many of you have done several projects, but this is my 1st 60-66. Thanks for any suggestions, W |

Re: 4 3/4" bolt pattern
Plugging and drilling the axles may be your best bet. I know that doing the 5 lug redrill you end up breaking through one hole but with 4 3/4 you may be ok. The next thing is the hub diameter on these trucks needs to be turned down to 3.060 if remember correctly to fit most later wheels and front hub sticks out pretty far and interfears with some center caps.
