    I was wondering if it would be possable to re-drill my axels and rotors to a 4 3/4" bolt patern? I do not mean that I would drill them , but a good machine shop. Why? - there are more used wheels with that bolt pattern. What would be a fair cost for such a service?

    Sure it can be done. If you use a chevy pattern, you will have to use chevy lug studs if your looking at wheels that uses a lug nut with a shoulder. Chevy uses 7/16 studs so the holes in the wheels are smaller. If you use a wheel that uses the standard tapered lug nut, you will have to bore the holes in the wheels to 1/2". Is it worth it? :huh:
