Is it safe? 5 x 5.5 to 5 x 4.75 bolt patterns
Plan on changing drum to disk brakes for front (maybe rear as well) and option for Chevy's 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern. I have a set of wheels matching the pattern, beside, there are more wheel options for the set-up. Question is: is this safe and does it compromise the integrity of the support strength?

its probably fine. i think the actual conversion will be the hard part.
