5x5 bolt pattern brake rotor question

[LIMITED1]

I am looking for a brake rotor that has a 5x5 bolt pattern that will fit on my stock G body spindle...any ideas?

Re-drilling your rotors would be the only way I know.

None of the "big" car rotors fit on our regal spindles?

Stock rotor is 10.4". See if you can find one that size that will fit the knuckle and caliper. Just not out there.

I think I am going to go with this guy: https://www.adamsrotors.com/

He custom builds rotors and can put the pattern I need on the G body size rotor.

These have 5/8" studs, but I believe this is what you are looking for.

Look it over.. I didn't study it too closely

Those do look good, but I wonder what the overall depth is...it is my understanding that the B-body spindle sticks out 5/8" more than the G body spindle. I will see if I can find more specs on the AFCO rotors. Thanks!!!

Looked it up on the AFCO website and it says it will work for 78-87 G bodies. So I would just have to get some new coarse thread lugnuts and I should be all set!

Next up is how to get the rear axle to 5x5. I have a set of adapters, but the wheels are pushed out more than I think they should be.

I called AFCO, these wont work on a stock car. The studs are 5/8 coarse which are designed for race car wheels. Back to the drawing board.

short of upgrading to spindles from a 77-89 B body with the HD suspension or from any 90-96 B Body, your only option is either the "metric" dirt track rotors or getting yours redrilled.
the rears are going to need to be redrilled.

Check with Wilwood, part number 270-12304. This is a hub made for our spindles that enables the use of a slip-on disc rotor. They show drilling that hub in 5 X 4 1/2 and 5 X 4 3/4 bolt patterns. But as they have other hubs drilled for a 5 X 5 bolt pattern, they may be willing to make one custom for you. They have a number of different slip-on rotor and hat configurations that should enable you to get the bolt pattern, diameter, thickness and offsets that you need to work with your calipers.

or just get a Caprice rotor with the 5X5 pattern, make it into a hub, then try to find a slip on rotor with the 5X5 bolt pattern and a 10.5" rotor and the correct offset to line up with the stock calipers..

Just curious....why do you need a 5 on 5" bolt pattern? I didnt read what you were trying to accomplish. Sorry if I missed it.

I am trying to do this but I only have 1 wheel which has dual bolt pattern. It originally was 5x5 and it was drilled for 5x4.75 as well. I really don't want to use adapters but it is likely to easiest route.

Try an astrovan?
