small bolt pattern wheel question

[karlkafer08]

Can I adapt small bolt pattern wheels with the 4" pattern that fit drums to my 4.5" large bolt pattern disk brake hubs? Since I am talking about stock steel hub cap wheels, can they be redrilled to match the larger and wider spaced lugs? Thanks :-D

No I don't think you will have a flat surface to do it and for the lug nuts to seat. But I could be wrong as I have never tried.

Are you talking about the factory steel wheels? Lacking too many details to figure out exactly waht you are doing.

Not only that, the drum brake rims won't work with disc brakes.

We still don't know what he is running. He may have alunimun slots or something. Don't think it is feasible even if they could be redrilled.

Not that I am suggesting you do this but many people have

But it also explains the problem with small pattern wheels and disk brakes.

He has stock steel wheels. Not a good idea.

Note: If you are not confident of your mechanical ability, or set fire to your house when changing the oil, do not bid as if installed improperly could cost you your life.

I almost choked when I read that statement!!!
