6 lug to 5 lug wheels
This is my first post here. I've got a 1959 Chevrolet Apache with a 283 and the stock six-lug wheels. Since this six-lug design eliminates many of the classic 5-lug designs (cragar SS, torq-thrust, etc.), I am considering changing them, but don't know what all needs to be changed to make the switch to a 5-lug setup. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!
