Bolt Pattern

I`ve Got A 83 F150.i Want To Convert To The 4.5 Wheel Pattern .the Rear Is Easy If I Convert To 9" Axle In The Early 80`s The F100 Had The Small Circle .on The Front I Converted To The Late Model Spindles And Drop Beams So I Cant Use The Rotors Off Of The Older Truck.does Any One Know Of A Rotor Off Of Another Vehicle With The Same Diameter And The Small Bolt Circle .they Do This On Some Foreign Trucks By Using Toyota Stuff On The Other Jap Trucks To Convert To 5 Lug.i Know I Might Have To Play With The Bearings A Little But The Ability To Get A Bigger Variety Of Wheels In Different Offsets Is Worth It To Me...... Thanks

Thumbs up Re: Bolt Pattern

Call a few machine shops. Although there are some very cheap foreign parts out there it will likely be easier and cheaper to re-drill your rotors and add new studs while you're at it. You might even save the price of new bearings if your current ones are good. You know your stock rotors will fit right.

Re: Bolt Pattern

I don't know what kind of truck you have so It is hard to help with your problem Is this a ranger , All fullsize F-100-150 trucks have had 5.5 bolt patern rangers and cars are the only ones that have 4.5 .

This is not true..I have had two 1982 F-100s with the smaller 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern..
