Read the Build Book - the Grand Am Cup Car part. It explains how to do it, IIRC.

Oh I do. I'm gonna need more info on this little swap of yours when you get everything finished up. I found ways around our lug pattern dilemma but another way would be nice to know too.

Must have skipped that part of the build book. Could you be so kind to direct me to the section or page of the PDF?

I don't think it is in the New Build Book. But I'm pretty sure it is in the old one.

Lemme check.

Yeah... its not in the New Build Book (Third Edition)... but it is in the old one (First Edition).

Do you have a copy? Or do I need to email it to you?

PDF page 149, IIRC.

That's where they first start talking about it. I haven't read it in a while... so you might have to read through a couple of pages.

If you have questions... there is a wealth of knowledge on this site. You just need to ask.

I know the basics. I just wanted details as far as price and difficulty of the project.

I have found there are three different ways to make a different lug pattern work on our cars.

1: Find a wheel that can be re drilled to 5x110. This cant be a open faced wheel with exposed lugs. It needs a center cap to cover imperfections from drilling.

2: Wobble Bolts so you can run 5x112 wheels. Widely practiced by Vdub guys.

3: Swapping hubs with Grand Am Hubs.

I know the pricing and details of the the first two but not the third.

Oh and I forgot to mention adapters. But then you need a wheel with a high offset so you dont run into issues.
