Have a bit of a noob question. I know that our wagons are truck lug pattern. I was wondering if there is a way to swap out the hubs for Corvette/Camaro light pattern? I'd really like to fit some Corvette sawblades on my OCC.

Yes, you use third gen Camaro 1LE package rotors. The correct size with the small pattern. However, no ABS tone rings. You either machine the back of the rotor to put on the rings, or lose the ABS. In the rear, you just pop out the lugs, mark the axle for the small pattern, drill, and pull the lugs back in place. You don't need to remove the axles if you use stock length lugs. Drill the drums to match.

However, I think sawblades have too much offset... soooo, just use bolt on adapters to convert your car to small pattern. Double check, of course.

Or, if you need the offset, just buy adapters like a number of other people and bolt it on. I know DIlbert 9c1 from the ISSF is running C5 rims in his 9c1 with adapters and no issues.
