    Does anyone make an adapter plate to use Wide 5 wheels on a 5 nn 5-1/2" bolt pattern. I want to run these using my current 40 Ford drums and hubs. I've seen Dick Spadaro's 5 on 4-1/2". Does he make these for the early bolt pattern as well? Thanks

    When I was looking a few months ago I saw some on Speedway but they were just for 5 on 4.5" and 5 on 4.75".

    I never saw any 5 on 5.5".

    I'd guess they had some back, "in the day". Maybe you could find some older ones somewhere.

    Speedway goes up to 5 on 5 but no 5 on 5.5. I have the same problem. I bought the 5 on 5 , which is also drilled for 5 on 4.5, in hopes of redrilling to fit my 5.5 ford hubs. But have not gotten around to it yet.

    Here's an adapter that is 5 on 5.5 http://www.pitstopusa.com/detail.aspx?ID=65 but I don't know anything about it.

    Here's another one on this page, but its a little spendy, http://www.hrpworld.com/googlebase.cfm?key=Wheel%20Adapters%20-%20Real&form_prod_id=,297,299,_730&action=product
