Is it safe? 5 x 5.5 to 5 x 4.75 bolt patterns

Post by panski »

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? :?
