I did my 5 lug conversion for less than $900 including the wheels.
Junkyard ranger axles- $80
'94-'95 spindles and hubs and calipers- $200
Then its just brake pads, rotors and drums.

Keep the wheels.

The brakes alone are a big upgrade, even when using stock '94 stuff.

If it was me id end them back if seeings as the wont fit with out the 5lug converstion and there not the style you wanted, but on the other hand it is a great excuse to do the conversion and you like me and need to talk yourself into things lol. If you got a really really good deal and can get your money back or more id say do but thats normally uncommon but i dont know how good your real was so i thought id say that anyways or do the conversion if you have the money lying around. But send them back and get the style you want most a month isnt that loong to wait if in 2 months you wish you had got the R's

you can do a 5 lug conversion for a lot cheaper than that. its like 500 bucks. two ranger axels with the drums still on them works perfect for the rear
Very true, I was thinking about doing a 4 wheel disk 5 lug swap which is why the price is quite a bit more than front disk rear drum. By all means you could probaly build a solid 5 lug swap with drums in the rear that have been rebuilt or need rebuilding for under or around 1000$

call them and tell them they messed up, make them pay return shipping and send the new wheels.

Summit messed up on my wheel order too, I didnt pay any extra, and they overnighted my wheels to me for free

Yeah use ranger/aerostar axles, and the drums. Then get sn95 spindles, and a 99+ PBR all. dual piston caliper. I picked up the 95 spindle, 99+ dual piston all calipers, and rotors for 150! I got the drums and the axles for 75!

send them back, 5-lug conversion is pointless unless you have your heart set on those rims and they dont make them in 4-lug

I'll swap you for some sexy turbine rims. 15x6 baby.

seriously, I agree with bighungry. Send them back and demand that they make them in four lug now for your inconvience.
