Smokeyyank Posted Saturday at 05:48 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:48 PM Gatheting parts for my axle build and got a rear explorer disc conversion for the 9". I'm running 6x5.5 so ordered the kit that way and these are the rotors I got? My concern is the double drilled hole. Are these fine or do I need to send them back?

pizzaman09 Posted Saturday at 08:43 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:43 PM That's fine. They must make the disk for two different bolt pattern wheels. The load transfer ina brake disk should really come from the clamping of the disk between the wheel and hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf Posted Saturday at 11:08 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:08 PM No. That's not Okay. I would send them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But… they can’t drill a 6 lug and 5 lug pattern without interference if the diameter is close enough. Proper conversion rotors would be best and should only have the pattern you need. But these rotor will work in a pinch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky part is these are the explorer rotors with an internal parking brake so the hat is the issue. After looking at them more they have to go back regardless because the new lug size is wrong. Ordered 1/2 and got 5/8. Played around with a wheel spacer I randomly had and there is going to be one that overlaps. So may just go with Eldorado calipers and 6x5.5 rotors.

llhat Posted Sunday at 02:54 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:54 PM do not believe the 5 lug pattern is on 5.5 circle, if they were the centerlines of both 5 and 6 holes would be on same circle. no, I would not 'like' the result shown above at the 2:30 o'clock position, but like others, do not think there's an effect on braking.

ghetdjc320 Posted Sunday at 11:15 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:15 PM The inner circle should be the explorer 5x4.5 circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted Sunday at 11:18 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:18 PM Just for pure kicks and giggles, checkout an Isuzu rodeo/Honda passport rear rotor from 95 up to 2003. 95-96 will be one style, 97 will be another and 98-03 will be yet another. All had a 6x5.5 patter and internal parking drum brake. Who knows if it’s anything that may fit but worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
