4-Lug to 5-lug Conversion????

I have searched but couldnt find anything other than drum to disc conversions, but for now i am keeping looking to keep my drums but upgrade from my 4lug to 5lug so I can run GT rims. Has any one attempted to do this and any ideas on how involved it would be. I am thinking the hubs and spindles would just have to swapped out. But i could be wrong.

You'd have to buy 5lug wheel hubs for all corners, and since youd have to change the hub, youd need new rotors and drums.

Cant forget about the rear axel suspension piece thingy. the studs are bolted through that in the rear.

I have all the parts you need to swap over to the FE5 (SS/SC) suspension which will then allow you to run the GT rims.
