    I will probably get ragged for not using the search button, but I did. I just couldn't get a positive answer. I have a 59 Stude Lark hardtop that has an early 70's Nova clip on the front and a Ford 9 inch on the rear. This is how I bought the car so I kept it that way. I would like to find a set of rotors with a 4.5 inch lug pattern to match the rear and the wheels I have. There won't be enough front fender clearance if I use adapters. I ordered a set of rotors from Speedway and they must be for a full size car cause they don't fit. I have heard about Granada and Volare rotors. Has anyone had any luck with these rotors? I also bought a set of Nova rotors for redrilling, but the back of the rotor will not allow this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe GM made anything with disc brakes with a 5 on 4.5" spacing. Mopar or Ford only as far as I know.

  4. You need to figure out the ID and OD on the bearings plus the depth and see if anything will match up.

    Thanks guys. I think I'll play with a Granada rotor and see what I can do.
