allen dodson Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey guys need your help although the six lug pattern is fine, I have a nice set of 1971 chevy Z-28 5 lug wheels i want to use on my pickup. Any advice? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I think that's what I have and they're 15" so more tire choices. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 is the Chevy 5-lug the same as late model Ford 5-lug? if not, then its really a waste. You can do some welding and convert the front to accept ball joints. Then use Toyota 2wd truck front spindles. (5 lug and disc brakes) and possibly a Toyota truck rear axel. Then you and run the same 5 lug pattern that Mustangs and Nissans use. The 'old' Chevys are not the same. Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Dont know if this will help, but back in the day we used to use "adapters" That would convert 4lugs into 6lugs or 6lugs into 5lugs etc... These were very popular for wire wheel conversions! Maybe try a custom rim and tire shop to check for such adapters! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Yes, use adapters. Or a hacksaw ahem. Those alloy Camaro wheels are great looking. Chevy used several different 5-bolt patterns. The Camaro (5 on 4.75 iirc) was different from the Caprice/Crown Victoria (5 on 5 Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I have a chevy caprice rear axle, with the 5 lug hub/wheels, for the front to match they just redrilled the stock hubs/brake drums. Suppose you could do that on all 4 relatively easily. Quote Link to comment
Rusty Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Somthing like these? Quote Link to comment
V8Dat Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I think Rusty wants you click on his link. Cause the picture shows 6-6lug spacers. But the link takes you to an Ebay store that sells any kind of adapter you want. Looks cool. Quote Link to comment
