I have a 9inch rear that takes a 5 5.5wheel to be able to use it I need 5 4.5. Can I have the axel and drums drilled or try to find an adaptor
 
Sometimes you can find axles with the right bolt pattern, so you can just change the axles. Other than that, you can take the axles to a machine shop, and have them do the work, BUT you have to fill in the hole for removing the axles, and drill/machine another where one of the existing wheel bolts are now.
 
at the wrecking yard check the big lincolns ,fords and mercs, the ones with 9" rears, the axles have two spline counts, 28 and 31, you need to make sure you have the right spline, altho its easy to change the axle gears to the right ones, email me and i will send you a url with info on 8 and 9" rear ends billyray38@comcast.net
 
i found wheel adapters on line at summit. i found 5.5 to 4.75 i would expect them to have the 4.5. very happy w/ mine. larry
