I re-drilled my 6- lug axles to accept the 5-4.75. That bolt pattern actually set up better than the 5 on 5. I did mine for rear wheel discs. In order to press the new lugs though there is an uneven surface towards the inside of the axle that needs to be machined so that you have a nice flat to locate the lugs. I don't know your measurements on those wheels, but I had to machine the center hub and the major outside diameter to accept the rotors as well.
