Why bother with 5 lug conversion....

I have seen countless brand new wheels that the holes are only a sliver apart. The seat on one uni lug hole touches another one just like these wheels. Leaving only a sliver of metal between the two lug holes. Sorry I didn't find a perfect picture of that. Companies do it every day without any concern for being sued or hurting anyone because it is compleatly safe. That isn't taking into account that these wheels seem to be billet compared to the cheap cast wheels I am accustom to seeing.
Again yes you must be ignorant to think that this wheel is an issue given the pictures we can see. Ignorance is fine but intelligents is filling the holes of your ignorance by learning.
I can't find any pictures of wheels I am talking about because all of the truck wheels that are 5 and 6 multi lug generaly have center caps. I will make sure to take a picuture next time I seem some. My wheels have 2 holes that are less then 1/2" on the back side therfore the cones just barly touch but I can't get a good picture of it with the wheel on.

I bet you walk through life thinking everyone else is the dick or the problem because that's what your mom told you growing up.
Take a look in the mirror pal, if you think driving an extremely " modified " vehicle without front brakes is a good idea against all of the advice from very knowledgable people on this board and a handful of others I follow...
Then screw the "testing" and start at 160mph on a tree lined road.
You need to get your head checked bud, because the dangerous things you dream up and plan to do to prove people wrong arnt normal.
Be a big boy and think about the family of 5 driving next to you on the highway.
The world doesn't revolve around you.

I just read through a ton of threads and posts of yours. At first I felt bad for but after a while I noticed that most comments were never intended to offend you but rather motivate you to think differently and steer you in the right direction.

Any time you have an idea you need to do some testing. Such as limiting the number operating brakes. If you use your brain and logic you can make a VERY strong case that the rear brakes will do just fine in a drag race situation. A monster truck has two rotors and weighs 10,000 lbs. They still stop very well. My rear is locked therfore at all times both rear tires will be stopping equaly. The only thing in question is the amount of traction the rear tires can offer to stop the truck. We don't need to re-ignite the debate but I will continue to make that point any time someone simply says it is stupid. It would be for track use only, the truck if ever drove on the street would be around the block to show it off.
I fully understand the world doesn't revolve around me but I also know this forum is full of a bunch of jerks that don't use their head, they simply spew back what is the un-thought out responce. If I tell my GF that I am taking brakes off a vehical I would expect the shreeks heard on this site. She is compleatly ignorant aside from pushing the gas to go and the brake pedal to stop. But talking to knowlegable people I would expect atleast some to be be mechanicaly intelligent enough to think "holly **** that just might work!?"
The funny thing is that the track official of my local track and another track down the road said they would have no issue with me having only rear brakes. The only concern they said is if I ran in a class it might make it hard because doing a burnout would typicaly trip the start line and disqualify me.
I am not taking my Tahoe and pulling brakes off it and driving the family around. If I ever did this it would be on my track only toy and would be heavily tested before any conclusion at the track running 100+mph.
Back to what this thread is originally about, these wheels are mechanicaly fine. I have seen atleast a hundred aftermarket wheels with identical amounts of meat between two lug holes for multi lug aplications.
So no need to feel bad for me. I am a big boy and can handle myself just fine. The last thing I need is accolades from people on this site if something I come up with works or atleast makes sence. I also don't have a problem admiting failure, bad news is I havn't been able to take my ideas to the testing stage for numerous reasons. When I come up with an idea I can promise you that it has a lot of facts or knowledge behind it. Doesn't mean it will always have the result I am looking for but atleast I and other will know the true answer. But that is what experamenting is, thinking outside the box with an educated guess as to what will happen.
