I have a '85 Ram 1500 truck w/ the 5x5.5 bolt pattern. I want to run 5x4.5 pattern wheels WITHOUT adapters. Are there any rotors & axles I can swap to or any accessories I can use to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, throw a set of 81 to 84 rotors at the front, and swap your rear axles for a set from the same years. Of course, make sure you use 9.25 or 8.25 axles as appropriate.

76 new yoke rotors are the same also


swap the axles and the drums,use same axle size from a doner axle
