yeah, new wheels, too. That's it if you're staying w/ drums in the rear, but most people go w/ discs when they do the swap. The only advantage you'll have (w/ that pkg.) is a larger wheel selection.

the rear disc conversion will cost more......

is it even worth doing the 5 lug conversion. I would think so because the 5 lug can handle more power than the 4 lug can. Am I right or can the 4 lug handle enough power?

Not a power issue. It's a selection issue. There will be some wheels you can't run w/o spacers for the front b/c of the duct cap and bearing hub.

your wheel choice is very limited with that conversion, some wheels wont allow to put a center cap on them, some will. So research what wheels your going to buy then go from there

the wheels i really like are the old style Crager S/S rims but then I saw the Boyd's Smoothies II in a 4 lug. I know I want that style for sure but just trying to see which is going to look better.

Go to the Chop Shop Threads at the bottom of the main section page. Give a pic of your car and the two kinds of wheels you want and some of the guys in there will chop the wheels onto your car so you can see kinda what they'll look like. The guys in there are really good at what they do. Good Luck
