I bought these as part of a disc brake conversion kit, but realized that the 5x5.5 holes in these rotors are for 5/8" studs, so I can't use them with my 1/2" studs on my truck. They've got some surface rust on em, but that should clean right up. No idea what to ask for these, so let's start with $40 cash OBO, and I can ship anywhere in the US as long as you pay for it. I can include a full set of rear brake pads that have lots of life left if you'd like.
I'm located in San Diego, and can meet anywhere off the 5 between Carlsbad and Downtown SD.

Why not drill em?

Unfortunately no matter how many times I drill out the 5x5.5" holes, they're still too big for my 1/2" studs

you could re-drill them in between, though.hobbyturnedobsession wrote:Why not drill em?

not a ton room there to re-drill with the 5x4.5 pattern already in the things and then the big hole 5x5.5 pattern. Probably could be done but the holes would be pretty close together I'd think.

Sounds like now is the rime to upgrade to 5/8
Re: Explorer 11" Disc Brake Conversion Rotors 5x5.5 / 5 x4.5
Yeah, I'm not too keen on drilling another set of holes and making these things look like swiss cheese. Another issue, is that I don't think the center bore of these rotors will work with my stock 8.8 axle shafts. They should get along fine with aftermarket axle shafts, but the stock axleshafts need a rotor with a 3.45" center bore.
