Five lug changed to six lug?

KeckWerkes · 08-11-2007, 06:25 AM

I am restoring a 93 chevy half ton PU with five lug 15" wheels, has anyone out there made the conversion to six lug 16" wheels and if so how did you go about doing it?
Thanbks,

you could get a set of spacers that change your bolt pattern. i see them do it alot on the mini trucks.

NO< NEVER USE SPACERS ON THE FRONT. PERIOD. Its very dangerous. You can use a rear end from a 2500 shortbed (6 lug) and should be able to convert the front from the ball joints out to a newer model. Its gonna be expensive though unless you have access to a salvage
