Made a dumb mistake today

The wheels are 5x4.75 and the new rear end is 5x4.5. I cant do adapters because they will widen the rear end too much. I think I am going to just have the axles redrilled.

All older Chevy trucks are 5x5. Most GM cars have the 5x4.75, except I know the 91 and newer Caprices and Impalas are 5x5 also.

Actually Caprices etc. bounced around on size from '71 up, some years had both sizes. I have had a '72 Grandville, '77 Bonneville, and '96 Caprice with the 5x5 and I had an '86 and an '88 Caprice with the 5x4.75. In the words of Shawn Spencer from the TV show Psych "I've seen it both ways".
