x3. I checked into this around christmas time and I couldn't get any real answers on the topic. Are you getting the axles from a 88-98 truck with 30 spline?

I reuse my hub and rotor, the guy who did it did not recommend welding the holes, he said it would be weak so he plug them, I don't know how but he did. And just did the same thing with the back rotors, the axles already came with the bolt pattern from Moser.

Why are you getting the old truck bolt pattern (5x5) instead of the camaro (5x4.75) bolt patter? I think you have more choices for race wheels with the car bolt pattern.

I'd like to know, too. I have dreams of the 5-spoke AR torq-thrusts on my truck.
