I knew that the nine inch would not be a cheap way to go, but it is probably going to be the best. Yes, my plans for the distant future do include a 20b. I also wasn't looking to get into adapters, since they take away from the wheel spacing that can be used. With adapters, my only option for wheels will be ones with no offset like a lot of front wheel drives require. I know that the swap can be done, because I have seen several now on the web that are five lug. It just may not be very cheap.

When swapping that type of **** around you will pay a pretty penny that custom adapter can fix.Theres lots of people the run the SE pattern with the bigger brakes and just use 5 lug adapters on them.You can't really tell if a car has adapters or a conversion without jacking it up anyways.

i have to go with racerx, i hope youve got a deep pocket.

i have seen pics of guys using 4 lug fc front hubs, redrilled 5 lug rotors and 4 piston calipers
