Hey Scott, unfortunately converting from a 5x4.5 bolt pattern to a 4x4.75 bolt pattern is not possible without significant modifications or custom-made parts because they have a different number of lug nuts (5 vs 4) and different lug nut spacing.
I wish I had a better answer for you, but if there is something else you have questions about or need help with something else feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

Bryce, I typo'd the question. it was meant to go from 5x4.5 to 5x4.75. My applogies. I have since measured the trailer and found its a Big Tex brand and has a 5x5 bolt pattern. I am now thinking to convert from 5x5 to 6x5.5. One axle has brakes which I want to replace with new. Scott Wilson
