Auto Parts: 93 safari van 4.3 2 wd, safari van, pep boys


Question
Hi, my 93 safari 2wd 10 bolt rear end van has 5x5 lug bolt pattern, I want to change to 5x 4 3/4 for more wheel choices...what hubs/spindles and axles will interchange?...S10?.rwd cutlass? ... ect..thanks..cliff

Answer
Hi Cliff,

Car manufacturers never made provisions for replacing hubs like you mention so there would be no way for me to know which ones would work. I can tell you what the interchange is for the hubs currently on your vehicle, but I would never be able to know what 'might' fit. All Safari wheels between 85 and 95 are of the 5" variety.

Good luck.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
