Wheel Adaptors @#^%$!!!

I'm using a camaro disk brake conversion up front with a 4.75 lug pattern and I am trying to figure out what is the best way to mate up a 6x139.7 gm rim. Now my question is how can I keep my *****in' rims but retain the disk brake conversion? BTW its a 38 ford spindle if you need that little bit of info

 

oh thanks for any available help.

Give Fred a call, if he doesn't have it on the shelf he'll make some up. His adapters look like fine jewelry.

 

If there's room. I would have the hubs redrilled for the 6 lug pattern. It would eliminate any offset issues and be stronger in the long run. You didn't say if your brakes use lift off rotors or spindle mount. Lift-off would certainly simplify things for future brake work.

 

thanks for the help, there lift off rotors. found a old timer that used to be a hot rodder back in the day kinda guy who works at a machine shop that said he can do the rotors so we will see.

 

I hate adapters, but it's your call... I'd trade your rims for some that would fit without having to adapt them.

 

I like that idea, do you know were I can get 18" steel wheels to fit a four and three quarter lug?

 

i think astro vans spares are 18"

 

wheel vintiques? stockton wheel? Probably some other places like that. Also, what year camaro conversion do you have? In some cases you can use a B-body Impala rotor and it has a 5" bolt pattern and also a greater wheel selection that a 6 lug.

 

yea thats the delima im in now, 6lug 139.7 pattern. I dig the the rims just cant figure out how to use them

 

www.lugnutking.com they can make any kind of adapters

 

thank you, I'll give em a ring monday.

 

Far as drilling Camaro rotors for a different bolt pattern, it may not be possible.

The Camaro rotors I have - new from the parts house - have hollowed out areas between the lugs.
There's not enough material to hold a lug stud properly.

Original rotors and perhaps gennie GM parts may have rotors that are solid all the way around.
