I have a question..... ok.. how hard would it be to convert my 06 ls 4 lug over to 07 lt/ls 5 lug... would it just be a matter of getting the parts form gm....


any thoughts...

helloooo i know people have to be reading this...

 

I want to do this to nate so i can get ss rims.

 

well then bump this ****... somebody has to know something

 

Really, why convert? there are less options for rims on the 5-lug pattern. Plus you can find muchhh better looking rims then stock SS ones. It would cost wayy too much to convert then its worth..

 

bump!!!!!

 

It would require changing out the hubs. Very expensive. I wouldn't recommend it. On a lighter note, if you do this, you can upgrade your breaks to SS/SC setup all the way around. Like I said though, this is all very expensive and most likely, not worthwhile...

 

Lets get jordan to total his car, and then steal his **** and leave it on blocks!

 

If you junk-yard it, I bet you could find the whole setup for cheap. I'm not certain everything you would need for the swap though. If I were you, and serious about this, I would try to find a wrecked SS/SC and buy the whole suspension/brake system off of it. That would give you everything you need. Don't forget the better control arms!

 

Price SS rims then ask yourself if you want to do it. Its too expensive, and you can find lighter better rims to fit the 4x100 you already have.


also cause if you would have searched theres this thread already asked. (not being a dick just pointing it out.)

Agree^

 

I already have some rims that are fairly light.

 

hmm.... well the 07 ls/lt are 5 lug so i was thinking it would be a matter of finding those parts...

 

yep yep

 

Close, LS and LT1 are 4 lug, LT2 and LT3 are 5 lug

15" = 4 lug
16" & up = 5 lug

 

True, but once again, why go through all that trouble to narrow your options. Especially if you're not upgrading to better parts? Just constructive criticism, bro. Don't take it personal...

 

ok... well find the lt2 parts... ..i want disc brakes in the back.

 

im gonna say it before someone else does nate. Shoulda bought an ss then!!!
You going to hwy tomorrow nite?

 

lol........... yeah....

 

Sorry again, Drums on LT2 & LT3, rear discs only came on SS/NA and SS/SC cars

If you want a rear disc set this is way cheaper and a lot less labor

where the hell did this come from.... .. i might have to hop on that.. lol

 

let me kno what price they give u nate

 

It's going to be way cheaper for a set of 4x100 17" + wheels and that brake kit if all you're going for is rear disc's, but i'd recomend the fronts to match, those aluminum caliapers are sweet.
