Convert 5 lug rims to 6 lugs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I heard from a friend that it is possible to drill extra holes in a 5lug rim to fit a six lug truck. Is this possible? and is there anyway to convert 5lug rims to fit a 6lug truck? thx.

No to drilling new holes.Yes to converting to 5 lug,but it depends on what You want to spend.search on the suspension board for different options.

Quickest way to convert the rims is to find a board member who wants to trade.
