Redrilling hubs for a different bolt pattern
Has anyone had this done around here? If so where did you get it done and how much did it cost?

Looking to get the front redrilled from the stock oddball 6x127 pattern to the f-body bolt pattern (5x120.65). I want to ditch the stock 20" rims and run one of these 18" rims with drag radials. I have adapters for the rear already.

I'm not spending $2-3k on just wheels alone.
Dupree, I have read where people have had their hubs welded and re-drilled for a different bolt pattern, but no one has done it on a TBSS.

Are the wheels already "sold" when you do this? You going to do all 4 or just the front?

No, they will be up for sale afterwards. They have Nitto 420s 265/50/20 tires that have less than 5k on them. Going to run 18's on all 4.

Do you know if they are the same bolt pattern as the regular fullsize.

Unfortunately they are not. The regular fullsize bolt pattern is 6x5. The TBSS is 6x5.5

After doing some further research, I found a guy that converted the front to 5 lug using S-10 hubs. So I will be going that route now.

I bought a set of Skulte Performance billet 6 to 5 lug adapters from a guy on TBSSOwners.com who used them to run 18" vette rims. Adapters wont work on the front though.
