Does anybody know of a front rotor conversion for my truck to go from a 5 on 5 bolt pattern to a 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern

(4) 1.25" (32mm) 5x127 (5x5) to 5x120.65...
Had these on my Jeep Cherokee for a while, albeit they were just spacers and never had a bit of a problem with em. They should work great!

thanks for the info. I was hoping to go with just rotors, and stay away from adapters. I'll put the info in my data base.

CPP and McGaughy's both sell a big brake kit that has 5x4.75 rotors.

This a picture of a jig for redrilling hubs and axles. You can do it with a good drill press however the jig is best made at the machine shop. I have the numbers if its what your after.....ruggles[IMG]

Yes, please share that one

Check the numbers before you use it. I haven't used this pattern yet.On some axles or hubs you may have to weld a hole or two. probably not in the case.....ruggles[IMG]

Those are the rotors they use in their "drum brake spindle" conversion.
