4 lug to 5 lug
im not really interested in doing the ss/na or ss/sc brake swap
but the cavaliers and the cobalt lt have the 5 lug pattern
what i want to do is swap spindles, rotors and drums would that be possible from say a 5 lug cavalier or would i run into other problems

Well the question is of course, why? I assume you want to use some specific kind of wheel? And while I can't be sure, I don't think the J-body 5 lug was the same size as the Delta 5-lug. Deltas have 5*110.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
All J-bodies = 5x100
Cobalt SS/LT2 or whatever other LT has it/Pontiac G5 GT = 5x110
Other Cobalts = 4x100
There is no advantage of having 5 lugs whatsoever. I refuse to give any information regarding swapping because I'd hate to see you waste your money on this.

without massive reengineering or fab work you cant put Jbody bits on a Cobalt.
To go 5 lug (5x110) all you need is hubs, rotors, drums and caliper brackets. Theres a much smaller selection of wheels in 5x110, so unless you were doing it for the big brake options, theres no point.

At the time of purchase, it was considered a 2006 LT3.

I am gona disagree with ya there, I have a 06 LT with the sport package and it has 4 lugs. This was the top model LT (LT3) at the time I bought it. I believe that they went to 5 for the LTs in 2007 or 08. Before then, all the LTs were only 4.
At the time of purchase, it was considered a 2006 LT3.

In any case... to the OP, what we generally recommend in this situation is to stick with 4x100 and take advantage of the much greater selection of aftermarket wheels. Don't bother with heavy ass SS wheels. Had you searched, you would have found this information with ease, so kiss my ass plz.

Starting in 2007, the LS and 1LT Cobalt's had the 4 lug, and the 2LT, Sport, and SS models had 5.
