As I read the speedway description, it for wide-5 hubs and allows you to run 5 on 4.5 wheels.

Just the opposite of your link, unless I am miss reading something.
 
The closest you will get to what you want would be to use 40-48 hubs and drums and 15" pickup steels. Any wheel that is available in 5 on 5.5" pcd should go on.

It does seem to me, though that you are defeating the object and the desire to want to use (what I would assume to be) a 4.5" ford or 4.75 chevy bolt pattern might mean that in reality you might as well just gut everything out and street rod the thing.

That said, I am pretty sure that people have modified the wide 5 centres to fit a 15" rim, so if you don't really want to get rid of the wide 5's you could pursue that line of enquiry.

I'm pretty sure circle track racers did that quite commonly, but I'm not an expert.

Mart.
