Default wheel converter?

Hey guys... I can get my hands on some nice looking 20" rims for free (family car got into a little accident). the wheels are in good condition but they are off a yukon! its 6 X 139mm and I was wondering if there is a converter to go from 5 x 115 to 6 x 139? Ive looked but I just get lost!?!?!?

I guess if you changed out all your hubs to 6 bolt, got a new front drive assembly and could somehow change the rears to 6 bolt it might be possible. Unless a custom rim shop could make them a Uni lug rim, but otherwise I dont really think it is possible. good luck

Wow, so many people trying to put RWD wheels on FWD cars. Just doesn't seem like the dynamics allow for that too often. Just my .02

changing the hubs out wouldn't be the easiest of jobs, because the hubs wouldn't just bolt up, and if you got adapters if they even made them for that conversion which i doubt the wheels would stick out


i think your only bet would be to go to a custom wheel shop and see if they know anyone that can drill them out to fit your monte, but there's going to be extra bolt holes

Don't even mess with it. If the wheels would bolt on (as is) they would stick out 3/4 inch, if you got some adaptors they would be 2 piece adaptor & over 2" thick (because you're going from 6 to 5 lug) and would cost you almost as much as a new set of 20's. To drill them out would take pluging the existing holes & making new ones because 1 or more holes would be in the way of the new ones. I have to tell you not to waste your time or money on this because it will be more trouble then it's worth. And don't forget, after the drilling you would have to get them rechromed so they don't peel.
