I say you just buy new ones. Redrilling will cause them to get weak. Do you want something that you depend your life on to fail?

Are they Drag Lites? Bad Cherry redrilled his Drag Lites, they were the F-Body bolt pattern. Maybe you can get the rims drilled for the 5x5 bolt pattern.

Default rotors

I saw your post about rotors. I have brand new blank rotors for a LT1 Fbody in my trunk. The pattern should be 5x4.75.

His had the dual bolt pattern before he redrilled them.

Here's his car with his old blower set up. You can see a close up of the front wheels.

Hey I was gonna buy his procharger kit when he was selling it but then I wasn't gonna keep the lt1 so it wouldn't work. R u sure his still using the 5x5? Not the 4.75 or 4.5? I would keep the stocks but I need to make it lose a little bit of weight.

just my advice dont re drill your rotors. just buy new ones. like they said it will weaken them. they might work great. but theres that chance that they wont. brakes are kind of an important thing.

Yes, he is running 5x5. I was gonna buy his wheels, but I would need to mini tub the rear frame since he's running a pretty big backspacing..

On the Impala forum, some dude put F Body rotors, he had to change the spindles and I forgot what he had to do for the rear end. U might want to go that route.
