Re: 5 lug bolt circle suggestions? Which one and why?

So what are the overall goals for the truck. It has a widely supported IFS in it right now that you can get anything you want for. I build my trucks to drive everyday and try to build with the ability to fix it with locally available off the shelf parts. An example is my 66, everything in the front is out of a 78 C10 using the original front cross member. Used the power steering and all the disk brake hardware with brackets available from this forum and rotors from Summit Racing. Rear is the stock 12 bolt with the big brakes from a mid 70's K10. So this truck is 6 lug and I run steel smoothy wheels. My 65 suburban will have the same setup in the front but going 4 wheel disc and I want 17" wheels and they are available in 5on5 so going to use all stock stuff in the front from the 73 to 87 trucks and I have a 12 bolt from a 72 to go in it. So the plan for the truck build can influence the wheel, tire and bolt pattern choice.
