I did a quick CAD drawing of 4.75"x5 on a 5.5"x6 bolt pattern and I don't see how you could re-drill for the new 5 bolt pattern without filling some of the holes. If there's some orientation, then the material thickness is probably downright dangerous given the gaping hole where the stud used to be.

I did the same thing and came up with the same results.
I need actual pics to see how these are being done.

JJ TURBO, out of what vehicle did the 14 bolt come out of? What suspension setup do you have? and How much was the rear shortened by? Pics?
Thanks

OK guys here are the pics, I could not remember but as you can see he only needed to plug one hole and drill over it, litreddevil I can get you the number from this guy but I think moser has better prices, with this guy it was 140 for one hub and one rotor, 70 a peace.

Dirty 30 the 14 bolt came out of an 84 or 86 van, and it was narrowed 5" on each side, I'll try to get the pics tomorrow, I forgot to take them while I was there, I was fixing another problem with the truck.
