hi all, i have a 93 OBS 2WD, its a 5 lug truck, and i really like some of the NNST wheels, but the ones i like are all 6 lug, is there any way to do a 6 lug conversion? the only thing i could think of is swapping the axles in the rear end from a 4WD truck, but i dont know if they are the same length. and for the front i would assume 6 lug rotors, but i dont know if they made 6 lug rotors for a 2WD.... i dunno I would assume someone on here has done it
belive you would use rotors off a 2wd 2500 obs and the rear end out of the same 2500, the 4x4 rear ends are a lil wider than the 2wd ones you can check out fullsizechevy.com and type it in the search bar, there are plenty of threads over there on this.

thats crazy, i wish my truck was five lug. I have no input other than that.
Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
Psalms 144:1
Si vis pacem, para bellum
they do make adapters that go from just about any pattern, but the problem is they also increase width.
yeah i was thinking about swapin to 6 lug for many reasons other than wheels, you can have bigger brakes in the front for pretty cheap and convert the back to disk if you use a rear end out of a nbs truck, and i wanted to run some ss wheels or tbss replicas but i have awhile before i worry about wheels

I once had a 90 2500 2wd that was referred to as a "light duty" 3/4 ton. It had a 6-lug bolt pattern. You might be able to just buy the 6 lug rotors, but I'm not sure if the spindles are the same. It's worth a shot, though.
As for the rear, you could just have a machine shop drill your axles to the 6-lug pattern or get new axles.
