It'd cost you quite a bit, it's not a simple swap-out.

Hub assemblies aren't interchangable between the 4 lug and 5 lug?

Not sure. Best bet would be to find one of the 5-lug LTs wrecked as I think they'd be the most compatible. Need to check on whether you need different calipers to run with the 5-lug rotors.

I got a 4-lug too.. If you want new rims the same size it cost around $400-$500.. If you want to upgrade to new 17-18'' rims and tires it will cost you $800-$1,000.

They have 4 to 5 lug conversion kits and the kits are not cheap and
VERY DANGEROUS. I wanted to do the same on my LS after doing allot research the best way to go is buy new 15s (waste of money imo) or go with 17-18'' rims + tires to fit the new rim size. The fact the you need new tires going put a $400 bigger hole in your wallet on top of the new rims.

DONT GET A SS/SC too late now. you going owe money on that car plus the new SS/SC makeing your car payments go way way up like $400-500 a month because your going be upside down. $400-$500 a month Can get you a basic model Lexus or BMW for crying out loud.

Unless the drill can thread at the same time for the bolt ^ . ^

Actually, I meant to add this earlier and got distracted by work. The cost comes into play in the rear, since you would have to convert your rear drum brakes to rear disc brakes. You might be able to jerry rig something for the front, but the back is where your headache starts.

What's involved, different story....
