So I took the 8 lug set up ( Spindles, rotors ect.) And swapped them out for utilizing the lighter weight 1/2 ton gasser spindles, rotors and 3" drop lower control arms and 1/2 ton gasser springs, and the 5 lug pattern.You will need to get a 1/2 upper balljoint also...
Now the 1/2 ton rotors come with a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern rotors which leaves little to be desired in mounting skinny race wheels.
What I did was to have a new bolt pattern drilled into the rotors, which would allow me to open up any catolog and order some race wheels.
5 on 4 3/4" bolt pattern :
Let's make sure we pass NHRA Tech with 3" studs. I used the finest fastener money can buy with the ARP Fasteners :
No, I didn't pound them in with a mini bfh...:hehe:
Maybe sorta :
New Billet Specialties 3.5" wide wheels with Mickey Thompson tires mounted :
