Bolt pattern change

I am considering a bolt pattern change on my truck and was curious if there is a way to change the front to 5 on 4.75".
The rear is easy, I just need to know if it is possible for the front.

Re: Bolt pattern change

There is but I am not sure if it is worth the extra effort required to. If it is not budget friendly then it will be a no go.

Re: Bolt pattern change

Some wheels you want that only come in a few bolt patterns?

The rear can be re drilled and so can the front by a competent machine shop. The fronts are done similar to the rear

The downside to this is the drums and thier replacements will have to be drilled and the front rotors too every time they are changed out.

Re: Bolt pattern change

I am swapping in a 9" with discs when I get back to the states. I want to run Billet Specialties Street Lites.
Only sizes available for 5on5 are 15x14 or 15x15.
I am probably going to stick with the stock rallies look and just get them made in a 15x12 or run Weld RTS.

Have you contacted Billet Specialties directly? I've seen a lot of their wheels on squares.

Re: Bolt pattern change

4.75 is the same bolt pattern as S10s, F body cars and Vettes.
