Default 5x5.5 can i make them fit?

How close is the 5x5.5 bolt pattern to our 5x135? Could I make a set able to fit my truck?

If you are talking about making rims fit, no. Bad idea. They will never be centered properly or torqued down right.

They may physically fit but like was stated, they will not be centered completely. I ran with rims this way on my old car for awhile and didn't have any issues. I wouldn't do it again though.

I tried when I first got my truck and couldn't even get them on the studs.
