Default 5 lug conversion kits...

Hopefully I'll be getting a 5 lug conversion kit for my birthday. Does anyone have the 5 lug kit from blue oval? I know 50resto has one but this is $100 cheaper. Any other kits you guys recommend?

Here's the blue oval link: http://blueovalindustries.com/products.php?pid=99012043

Does this seem like a quality kit?

The one from Blue Oval looks fine but that style of conversion will still limit your choice of wheels.

Your not going with disc's in the back? I know Steeda sells a 5 lug four wheel disc conversion. I heard all 5 lug conversions limit your wheel choice because of the axles being longer and the hubs not allowing you to put center caps on and things like that.

Never heard of the axle lenght being a problem. The ones in the kits are the correct size, I know cuz that's how I bought my rears.

Then what would limit the wheel choice?

The hubs for the front.

I'm either looking at 17" 03 cobras, 18" saleens, or 17" bullits. Would those wheels be fine? It seems like there is a lot of problems and limitations when doing a 5 lug conversion. It might not be worth it and I'll just stick to 4 lugs. If anything I would want to buy a kit instead of separate parts mostly cause I don't know jack when it comes to this... [:@]

03 will work with a little tricks"spacers and a hammer for the dust cap" And the saleens are the same..But the bullets will NOT work without the correct 5 lug conversion which would be a sn95 swap...Just look in the sticky at the top of the page and i wrote up a little about doing a 5 lug conversion.
