Hi,

I know some may think I'm crazy or its stupid of me to want to change the bolt pattern of my truck but hey its my truck and I paid for it so... I have a 2007 Saleen SC F150 and what I want to do is change my bolt pattern from 6x135 to 5x114.3 like a mustang. Reason is I can not find wheels that I like and want for my truck that aren't a ridiculous amount of money.
Will a mustang's rear end work or can I swap axles from a mustang to F150?
On the front I was thinking of ordering new front hub assemblies and having my uncle who works at a machine shop fill in the bolt holes and re-drilling to 5x114.3 and drilling the new bolt pattern into the rotor as well. Can anyone help with my current idea and if you have nothing nice to say please keep the negative comments to yourself.

Thanks,
Francisco

 

Anyone?

 

You think about adapters? Hub-centric is what you're looking for. Just seems like axel swap if possible and hub swap is a lot of work just for wheels.

 

I would think any wheel made in a 5x114.3 is also made in a 6x135.

 

Show us the wheels

 

Mustang rear to narrow, mustang axles to short, wheel adapters possible but 5 lug +adapter not near as strong as 6 lug. not wanting to sound negative but IMO you would be creating an unsafe condition for the sake of vanity.

 

"I know some may think I'm crazy or its stupid of me to want to change the bolt pattern of my truck but hey its my truck and I paid for it so..."

And this:

"if you have nothing nice to say please keep the negative comments to yourself"

People are going to be less than willing to help with an already negative attitude.

 

Especially when you say you don't want to hear that a really bad idea is a really bad idea..........

 

I do appreciate your feedback I just didn't want to have any trollers or people starting to talk mess that all I meant. I'm trying to understand why it's a bad idea if some of these mustang out here out producing 1000hp and they're not hurting the wheels. I plan on true forged wheels but in order to get them at a good price I was needed 5x114.3 or bigger like 5x120 bolt pattern. If I tried to go 6x135 it's custom made and some wheel manufacture do not offer that bolt pattern.

 

I've looked at wheel adapters but everything I've seen is 30mm or higher and well if I want to produce 500hp plus to the wheels wasn't sure how they would hold up.
