5x4.5" Bolt pattern Front Rotors?

[Ken Wolkens]

Looking for bolt on replacements for my front rotors (87 Regal) with the 5x4.5" pattern.

Anybody know who makes them?

Thanks, Ken

Look at RockAuto.com. Lots of choices of rotors there.

Specialty (4.5" bolt pattern) rotors for a g-body at rock auto?

Nothing there except ones with the stock 5x4.75" pattern.

Missed that detail.

I didn't think it would be that easy but checked anyway.

Since 8.5 G-body axles are rare and expensive I'm going to install a Ford 8.8 and would like the front to be the same pattern without adapters. I did come across a set of axles for the ford that are the chevy pattern but the axle I'm buying already has Yukons with the 4.5 pattern in it so I figure I'll swap the rotors.

Thanks, Ken

you might check
speedway motors, as they have alot of "hotrod" stuff, and might have something.

I would say you have a few options depending on time $$ and aggravation

1) like previously mentioned swap or redrill the axles to gm 5x4.76 bolt pattern

2) swap to a s10blazer brakes in the front and redrill the hubs and rotors for ford bolt pattern

3) just buy gm bolt pattern wheels for from ford for rear

4) check speedway see if they have any front rotors that fit your needs

That's just my thoughts on it

Put Wilwood brakes on the front and use the 5x4.5 pattern.

any place that sells circle track parts will be able to set you up with a set of "metric" rotors that have that bolt pattern- and they will probably have 1/2" studs that match your 8.8 rear end..

Excellent suggestions guys! I'll let you know what I find.

Thank you.
