Default 5 lug conversion

Sorry for such a crappy pic, I'm gonna take better ones later. I'm really excited becasue I finally tracked down some 5 lug axles. Just waiting for them to get here. So i'll be done with the swap next week!

Yep I took the cheap way. For some reason yes it was hard to find them. All I could seem to find on craigslist was 94 and up rangers and broncos. It took about a month to track them down.

Wheels are on! I was able to squeeze the 315s in there. All that is left to do is roll the fenders. Where can I get this done? do most shopd have the ability to do this?

there is a tool that does it but most shops dont have them(not that ive worked at) sometimes on craigslist there is someone near you who has the tool that will do it for you...or you could buy it



but seriously a base ball bat and heat gun will work(just dont get the paint to hot it will blister)

haha yeah I saw a guy on youtube who did that. He stuck it in between the fender and wheel and then drove forward and it rolled the fender.
