Default 1970 monte carlo
Well have a 1970 monte carlo that I am redoing and have made some good progress adding disc brakes to the rear changing rear gears already have the motor and exhaust in the car it is really looking good...dual fan radiator but ran into something that seems strange to me...the rear bolt pattern on the wheels is 4.5 and the fronts are 4.75 is this normal or has someone over time replaced the rear end on this car...found a really good deal on some wheels and tires for the front and they are 4.75 but wanted to match the rears but looks like I will need a different bolt pattern...thanks in advance...

Greetings!

As Jerry said, the rear end was swapped out. The bolt pattern would be the same front/rear if it was factory original.

Welcome to the site. As others have said the rear end was changed at some point.
