not a good day for me - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 12:36 AM

well, i got my disc brake conversion in stalled along with my new 2.5" spindles and 2" springs. i go to put the wheels back on and.....they don't fit!!

My dumb a$$ thought my bolt pattern was 5 on 5, stock drums are 5 on 4 1/2, new rotors are 5 on 4 3/4, my new $$2500.00 rims that should be here anytime are 5 on 5

any suggestions? can i get a 5 on 5 rotor to fit magaughy spindles? i should be able to get a set of moser axles for the rear also with 5 on 5 right?

cabinetguy · 03-26-2007, 12:46 AM

5 on 4.5 is ford car.....5 on 4.75 is GM car.....5 on 5 is GM 1/2 ton truck from 71 and up till the metrics

cabinetguy · 03-26-2007, 12:48 AM

Oh and large GM car is 5

on 5 also

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 12:48 AM

my '68 stock drums all the way around are 5 on 4 1/2...hhmmm

cabinetguy · 03-26-2007, 12:50 AM

stock drums are 6 on 5

Slammed66 · 03-26-2007, 12:50 AM

your STOCK drums should be 6 on 5.5

gm truck spindes are 5on 5 put stock rotors on it and you should be fine.

chuck1960 · 03-26-2007, 12:52 AM

I don't know if this will help but I ordered a complete front end kit that had spindles, rotors, ball joints the whole nine yards but was for six lug wheels. At the last minute I decided to go with five lug wheels so my lug patern was wrong, I went to autozone and bought two replacment rotors problem solved, everything bolted up fine.

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 01:24 AM

thanks, i think im going to try and get different rotors and new axles.

My truck is 5 lug, not 6.

cabinetguy · 03-26-2007, 01:27 AM

First why would you have 5 on 4.5 ? What type of rear do you have? Ford?

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 01:34 AM

12 bolt chev rear end

cabinetguy · 03-26-2007, 01:43 AM

Do you have a pic of this rear.The reason I ask if the axles are 5 on 4.5 Then it was drilled special by someone.And for you to have the front like this really makes me doubt your conclusion. You need to measure the pattern. Maybe someone can chime in on proper precedure. I think it is center to center (lugs)

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 01:46 AM

im uploading some pics right now.. i know how to measure lug patterns...this is a first for me also. i thought chev trucks were 5 on 5

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 01:54 AM

what i took off

what i put on

rear end

Bishops Trucks · 03-26-2007, 01:59 AM

Moser can make you axels in any pattern you want. Give them a call.

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 02:02 AM

that 12-bolt should have c-clips shouldn't it

cabinetguy · 03-26-2007, 02:07 AM

C-clips...YES....Thats how I would measure. Thats a little SPOOKY

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 02:09 AM

yup, i should be able to get rotors i hope with 5 on 5. looks like i'll be calling moser also...do you know what spline they are stock? 28? 30?

cabinetguy · 03-26-2007, 02:21 AM

With your luck,at this point. Iwould count 'em. Goodluck

cabinetguy · 03-26-2007, 02:23 AM

Have you measured the rear? I would if you are going on the fact that the rims match.

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 02:25 AM

i did measure the rears also.. looks like i need to pull an axle and count splines

kbs71 · 03-26-2007, 02:58 AM

Actually on all 5 lug patters you measure from the outside of one lug to the center of the opposite lug (skipping one lug) See the attached fitment picture. So using that meathod, your drums are 5 X 4 3/4 which would be correct and your new disc are 5 X 5 which also is correct.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-26-2007, 03:58 AM

the way youre measureing youre new front discs is wrong, cause youre measureing center to center and its outside to center so that makes the fronts 5 on 5 and if youre rear is the same as the front then you have the right rims for your truck

droppedgmc · 03-26-2007, 07:30 AM

thanks guys!! i guess im just used to measuring 6 lug. this really helped me out.

68C15 · 03-26-2007, 08:04 AM

your truck had 5 bolt drums on the front?!
