I was wondering if anyone here has done a 5 lug conversion, specifically a 5x114 lug patter. I really want to do this, but i have no idea how to or what to do. if anyone can tell me what parts to buy or what i should do please let me know. also if anyone has done this before and has pictures... please post them up if possible. thanks!

i have recently started a project with the final result being 5 on 4 1/2 lug pattern... but it's no simple swap. it involves cutting the whole front clip off at the firewall and using mustang spindles and rotors. so... i've heard you can use mid 80's yota spindles and hubs, and they might just fit in stock mazda ball joints.
