Title: disc brake kit with 5 on 5 lug pattern
Post by: 87R10383 on October 29, 2013, 08:57:27 pm

I'm swapping in a ford 9 inch under the rear of my '87 r10, and I'm looking at disc brake conversion kits. Does somebody sell an axle and disc brake kit to retain the 5 on 5 lug pattern? All of the kits I've found so far use either the 5 on 4 3/4 or 5 on 5 1/2 patterns. I can have axles made and drill the rotors to 5 on 5, but I'd like to avoid that if possible. I don't mind having two different lug patterns on the truck, but finding wheels that are made in both patterns is a little tricky.

Thanks in advance
Matt

Not sure about a kit for a Ford axle with the 5 on 5 Chevy lug pattern, but Astro vans used 5 on 5 bolt pattern if you need a disc to make a set.

What's the lug pattern on the axles you have? You have a lot of options with wheel adapters.
