front rotors

Has anyone had there rotors drilled for the 5 on 4/3/4" car pattern? I'm supposed to take my roters to the machine shop Tuesday. I pulled them off today and, it doesn't look like enough room for the stud on the inside of the rotors. Is there any company that sells them already done? Maybe there is another application that fits and has the bolt pattern that I want. I have the heavy duty brake option by the way.

Re: front rotors

Other than going with aftermarket big brakes, the only way I have heard of is in this thread. But you would have to change your spindles.

It might be easier and less $$ to just have your rotors machined and drilled. I believe in order to drill the secomd bolt pattern, the ribs on the inside need to be machined out.

Re: front rotors

Thanks captainfab. I was affraid of that. Since my truck used to be a delivery truck, it has the heavier brakes on it. Machine shop here I come.

Re: front rotors

I did it years ago and so I could get a 3.5 wheel and it worked fine. I ended up later going to Strange brakes

Re: front rotors

Yes, I drilled mine many years ago to fit a set of vintage 4.5 wide wheels up front.
