Default 5 lug conversion

All i need for a front 5 lug conversion is the rotors right. They have them on summit for 165 so i thought it would be worth it. Also does anyone know if this REAR 5 LUG will work for my rear conversion. It says for trucks only but i thought it might still work.

if you want to do it the crappy way and only be able to run like 3 ford wheels then do it that way, as for the back ranger axles work well 2 left sides if you want to keep it drum if you do disk back you will need a new master cylinder and booster and swap some brake stuff around.. and search tons of stuff on this, i just did it using 95 brakes so pm me if you have any questions

if you want to run any 5 lug wheel you will need new spindles brakes etc, if you want a limited selection such as drag wheels and some ford wheels you can just buy 5 lug rotors
