6-lug disks?
 

Anyone ever re-drilled a 5-lug disk rotor to the six lug pattern? I took a 5-lug rotor from a 72 with no wheel studs in it and sized it up to a 6 lug wheel today. If the holes were welded up it looks like the 6 lug pattern would fit. I was just wondering if this was do-able. Any of you guys tried this before? I would like to stay with the 6 lug wheels on my 66 and just thought this might be a cheap alternative to aftermarket rotors as i already have all the parts from a donor truck.

What wheels are you running?

I think there is a clearance issue with the original stock 15 inch steel wheels in six lug if you go to discs. I think the caliper hits the inside of the wheel or something.

I am about to swap from 6lug disc brakes to 5 lug. I have a classic performance kit on the truck with zero miles. Send me a PM and maybe I can help you out reasonable.

I've got 6 lug disc on my '66 and it takes a 1/4" spacer for the original wheels to clear the calipers.

I think the square body 4x4 disc are 6 lug. This is a pic I took from Autozone web site: $39.99

Buying rotors that fit is cheaper than paying someone to weld up a used set and re-drill. In my opinion, anyway, because everytime you needed one, you'd be going thru the same process.

The options for 6 lug front discs have been discussed in this thread a few times.

Drilling your own holes may sound cheap but if they are not exact your tires will never be balenced.
