66 Valiant ~ Wheel size / offset question

Funtime cruiser.
Im not opposed to the bolt pattern swap, I'm just not sure what all is involved. Seems pretty involved honestly.
There are many ways to get to a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If you are planning to go to front discs the 73 up front disc swap is probably the most common and gets you to 4-1/2 circle. Then you would need to redrill your rear axles or far better , find an 8-3/4 rear end and put in some 5 on 4-1/2 axles or get a later 8-1/4 with 4-1/2 axles in it. Many other options exist so you might want to do some research before buying wheels that you end up wanting to change.
