swapping hubs
is it possible to swap hubs from my bolt pattern to a different one that rims and tires are more available? and alot wider? i cant find any rims that are wide enough to run a real wide tire?please help
Don't know what you have, but you might be able to have your existing hubs redrilled to another bolt pattern. Check with a good speedshop or machine shop. Swapping hubs depends on what's available and what will fit based on your desired pattern.
just my guess but im pretty sure changing the bolt pattern would come down to changing rear axles and front spindle? idk thats just my theory but why would you want to change your wheel pattern just for some rims? have you already done wheel spacers?
You can buy adapters. They are pretty much wheel spacers that have your lug pattern on the inside and the new one on the outside. Alot of people don't like spacers though.

Actually if you have enough material left in unused areas of the hubs and axels, it's possible to redrill them; punch out the existing studs and move them to the new holes. Many years back that was a common hotrodding procedure to use alternate rearends or axels on different vehicles. You needed someone with the accuracy to do it but it was done quite a few times I know of. In essence you have a dual pattern hub or axel once done. Best ones were were you had the same number of studs but different diameter pattern, you just moved to the area between the existing studs. Of course, some weren't feasible due to pattern overlap etc.
