How to convert 5x5 to 5x4.75 !!!HELP!!!

Long time ago I searched and found that you can put 88-92 camaro rotors on our trucks with 1" rotors. I tried to go back and comfirm that this information was right because I have to do the convertion on my truck. Apparently, the rotors that fit are the ones that came with performance package. Can someone please steer me to the right info.


Bought some wheels and they are not 5x5 but they came with adapters but I dont want adapters on the front because Im having issues with wheels being too pushed out. Thanks.

Here a thread about it:

I was thinking someone was making a conversion rotor now that had a 5x4.75" bolt circle.
I will keep looking.

You could have your original rotors re drilled for the 5x4 3/4 pattern. Last ones I had done cost me $60.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

yeah a friend of mine actually did that to his rotors but its hard as heck to get ahold of him to ask where he got his done. But yes thats another option.
