Tom, do you have any favorite solutions for this problem. Want to run an 8.20x15 in the rear of the roadster so a 15x5 or 5.5" wide rim is needed but I want the Olds 5x5 bolt pattern but a ford style wheel. I don't have any hubcaps in mind so taking suggestions. Easiest to just use 16x5.5 ford rims from a pickup and redrill the axles and machine a ring to install on my olds axle to center the wheel?
 
It'll be just the stock olds wheels at first because they're there, but just makin' a plan.

I think I found a solution? Price is right.

edit: EXCEPT the stock caps won't fit on a smoothie 12 series and the 5x5 for oldsmobile would be a multilug wheel. The 14 series Gennie will accept stock rings and caps but does NOT come in 5x5. Whats a guy to do...
 
Back to redrilling axles for stock ford wheels...
