Conversion hubs/spindles 5x4.75 to 5x4.5 / 5x114.3 Are there any aftermarket spindles or hubs for LS1 F-bodies with 5x4.5" lug/bolt pattern hubs?
I am not interested in running adapters; this will require running higher offset wheels to keep the wheels and tires from poking out beyond the fenders.
Is this something that could be fabricated? I haven't seen a factory service manual for an F-body so I don't know how the spindles and hubs are assembled. Is it possible to pull the hubs off the spindles, fab up new hubs for the right bolt pattern, and put them on the original spindles?
The reason I'm looking for these is because there is a much larger selection of wheels for the 5x4.5 / 5x114.3 bolt pattern (Ford, some Nissans, Toyotas, Mitsubishis). Example... Volk TE37 Time Attack edition
I am also interested in conversions for 5x112 mm (Mercedes) or 5x120 mm (BMW, Audi) bolt patterns.

You can have your axles and hubs redilled to whatever pattern you choose. I know moser offers that service, they plug the old pattern and redrill the new one, you can contact them
