good idea to save a few bucks but I thought you could get the mosers in 4 lug.
true but i am limited to rim styles with 4 lug.
Didnt you just say you were going to get the same rims as the front anyways because they can make them in both four and five lug?
So now why are you saying this?
Unless you're now planning on running two different rims now

Are you going to change the front to 5 lug also? I would think so but you have only mentioned changing the rear. If you dont, you'll still be limited.

How much power are you putting to the ground?? If its not some insane numbers you can do like mine was done. The guys I bought it from bought a SVO fox body parts car real cheap and swapped over all of the 5 lug. Before I bought the car they were putting down about 425 hp and didnt break anything even running slicks.



Heres a different view. I know the rims are kind of common but I like the way they look on mah car.

rims look nice bossman, you can get draglites (like mine) in 4 or 5 lug if you want skinnies, and a few other weld wheels. I dont think they make the prostars in 4 lug though, are you saying you want to run 2 diffrent rims on your car?

I'm running 5 lug rears and 4 lug fronts on mine using Centerline AutoDrag wheels. just make sure any wheels you buy are DOT rated for street use as lots of racing wheels are not rated this way as they are made for strip use only.

AHA!!! YOU STOLE MY IDEA ROUNDMAN...!!
















j/k i know youve been on this planet ages before i was born...








i want 31 spline 5 lug strange axles with a 31 spline diff, does anyone have a list of things i need, everything AFTER the axles for a 5 lug conversion only in the rear?

for instance i know i need a 5 lug drum assembly, and 5 lug rims, those are the basics. but what else should i get for a complete conversion?

thanks.

Db i would drop the drums while you are at it and get some disc, but other than the brakes, axles and rims there is nothin else well you shoud do the baerings and seals along with some c-clip elims.

rear disc will make it harder to do burnouts, thats what my buddy said afrer he put rear disc from a 95 GT on his 93 LX, maybe he just didnt have enough power or a low enough gear though, just a thought.

THE FIVE LUGS ARE IF YOU WANT TO ADD LARGER BRAKES AND ROTORS ETC STOPPING IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS GOING FAST
couldnt agree more
