I was looking at converting to Gm 5 lug bolt pattern. I looked at moser's website, and for a little over $300, you could get custom axels made. So I am assuming that the rear would just be a matter of swapping axels and new rotors.


What would be needed to convert the front? Would the front hub from the older <98 trucks work somehow?

 

I believe the whole spindle setup is different on the OBS's.

 

2toneblown just had his front hubs and rotors re-drilled to the desired pattern if i recall corectly

 

I would like to know more about this. I have considered a five lug conversion

 

pm 2toneblown about it. I know he dosen't hang out on here any more but ithink he still visits LS1tech.com

He told me what he did but i just can't remeber the details.

 

I've got some wheel adapters you could buy. They convert the chevy 6 lug to a chevy 5 lug pattern. I ran Corvette wheels on my old body style truck. The adapters are right at about 2 inches thick so they work with the high offset f-body and y-body wheels. Just pm me if you are interested. They are only collecting dust lately.

 

That's all I did it was pretty easy and and alot more trust worthy than adaptors.

 

is this a do it your self type mod? If not how much did it cost you?

 

I cant figure out why no-one makes a conversion kit? I mean.. its just the rotor right? Do you think power slot or baer.. or someone could make the blank (like they already do), and before drilling 6 holes in it, drill 5 instead... ?

 

You also have to redo the hub, it's not just the rotor.
