5 on 5 Slot Mags

Post by Captain Chaos »

I have been searching for a set of these in this bolt pattern for my GMC Vandura for some time now to no avail probably because I am quite certain about what I want,8 or 8.5x15 fronts and 10x15 or wider rears. Also I prefer the more rounded slots like on the Shelby and US Indy wheels rather than the more angular slots on the earlier Woolfies

I have looked at the usual places here and in the States but though many sites list 10x15 there are not stocked and made to order at a very large cost,8x15 is the widest I can find that's available new,unless I go secondhand from US Ebay or similar.

My thoughts turned to a set of bolt adaptors to reduce the pattern to a 5 on 4.75,a much more common pattern to which I'd probably be able to find wheels in this country for. But am I just making trouble for myself? The track width will be wider and will I be stressing the studs too much? Has anyone been down a similar road to this please? Or basically am I 20 years too late and should I just buy a set of Cragar Street Pros and be done.

I am surprised - I would have thought 4.75" would be very popular. Chevy / Jag.

I have not used adaptors but I am not a great fan of them in principle.

Good luck with the search.
