I am working on a 68 Chevy and it currently has 6 lug wheels. I am going to install disc brakes all the way around and in doing so I can use either 5 or 6 lug patterns. Is there any reason to stay with the 6 lug pattern? If I change to 5 lug pattern it opens for a wider range of wheel possibilities.
Thanks

When I swapped to front disc brakes, I chose the 5 lug pattern to get more a choice of wheels. I run the American Racing Torq Thrust II 17x8. I also used the 2 inch drop spindles.
Out back I swapped for a 71 rearend. 12 bolt strength with 5 lug pattern. Everything fits! 3.43 with posi. You can just swap axles.
68 chop top 327 5 speed Stereo and AC. A real hot rod has a clutch. Anyone can modify it BUT it takes a real man to chop one up. See my truck in Reader's Ride and vote on it!
