Default question for friend.....................................

I have looked on the site and all I was about to find is rotors that require me to grind on the flange.

I'm trying to find a brake rotor to fit over the axle flange on my Ford 9". The flange has a diameter of 6 and 7/8" and need to be on a 5x 5.5 bolt pattern.

I have looked at
1980 cj7 rotors
1992 dodge ram 4x4 front rotors
1997 dodge ram 4x4 front rotors
2004 dodge ram 4x4 rear rotors
1978 ford dana 44 rotors

The closes one so far is the 97 Ram ones but I still would have to grind about 3/16" off to make them side over the flange. I would really reather not have to grind on the flange.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Isn't 5 on 5.5 the truck bolt pattern? If so, well that's your problem. Have you found any wheels that fit yet? You might consider getting axles with 5 x 4.5 lugs, they'll really open up your wheel options, and you can use Lincoln rear rotors (I think, hub snout on the axles may be specific to disc brakes).

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I think you'll find having ford truck lug spacing will cause problem after problem.
