you need a 4 to wide 5 stud adaptor plate made

these are illegal in some states but it depends on if you get caught or not

Where are u located

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

yes. there are 4 stud ones avalible - erco's, ceterlines etc...

but they are not good for brake cooling... thats why the holes are there....

adapters are illiegal and not a good option. you can get new drums and discs drilled to most patterns.
