5x5" Bolt Pattern to 5x4.75"

[Mieser3]

Needing some help here guys. I've found the wheels I want for my 1971 C10but they are only made with a 5x4.75" bolt pattern. I am running my original rear end with D52 calipers and Astro van rotors on the back and up front I am running CPP modular spindles with original rotors and D52 calipers as well. What options do I have to run a 4.75" bolt pattern? I don't want to use adapters. Is finding a machine shop and having them re-drill my bolt pattern my only option? Just wondering if anyone else is running the 4.75" bolt pattern on their truck and what they did to achieve it. Thanks.

Depends on how much you want to spend...

I'm not opposed to spending some money to do it the right way because I really want to run the wheels that I have my eye on.

CPP big brake kit will get you 5x4.75.

Here is another option A LOT more work though... I like lolife99's Idea better but you might have to call them I didnt see it on their online catalog.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I should just start looking for more 5x5" wheel ideas as I've already spent the money on the Wilwood D52 calipers at all 4 corners.

I am having hubs milled to use HD '96 Corvette Z51 rotors which are 13" rotors and 5 on 4.75. The hubs are being milled to fit the CPP modular spindles although should work on any HD C10 spindles. The hubs are costing me around $650 although a lot of that is because I needed to do a lot of back and forth design work so they would fit the centerlug pin mount adapters I'll be using. Anyway...in the end it'll use off the shelf, available from anywhere, '96 Vette 13" rotors which you can get smooth, slotted, drilled dimpled, drilled and slotted, coated, hardened...you get the idea. I didn't want want to be stuck with a single source for a consumable part.

13" and 14" rotors,...

When I did it I bought redrilled front rotors (dual bolt pattern 5 x 5 and 5 x 4 3/4)from a member here on the board. Then when I bought my moser replacement axles I had them drilled for dual bolt pattern. Then I used the front drums from my '56 bel air on the rear of the truck. They are the same part number as the rear drums on the vans that used the 5 x 4 3/4 bolt pattern. That's how I did it.

I'm considering sending my axles and all 4 rotors to Moser and just having them re-drill everything for the 4.75" bolt pattern and install new studs. I think that might be the most cost-effective option for me at this point.

Yea, I talked to him, and he kind of acted like I was bothering him for even asking. Then I ran across Tobin at Kore3 who has been a true pleasure to deal with, fast, responsive, interested, the guy turns around CAD drawings in hours of talking to him.

There is a rendering of the hub in my build thread.
