Finally got around to doing the 5 lug conversion on the car. This is from the kit that PMB did a group buy on last year. Not a fun Job, getting those hubs and bearings out with the trailing arms on the car took around 2 hours per side. Great kit though, didn't need another thing outside of the kit.

Thanks. It's been my daily for the last 4 years so I get to drive it every day. Just wish I had some A/C. Guess I'm getting old.

Looks good. agree.gif

Yep those are 16 x 6 and 16 x 7 205 55 front and 225 50 rear, I had some rubbing issues out back on the pass side even though I test fit when i pushed the fenders. I had 1/8" on test fit, but after paint and install it had about 1/16" clearance, so it rubbed once the tires got warm. I'll find some narrower 225s than the BF Goodrich, but for now I put 205s in the rear after I took the pictures and drove it.

One of those rare factory turbos.....I built it 3 years ago 2366, t304 turbo. It's a fun ride. Dyno'd 285 wheel on 9 lbs boost. It's reliable too, I put 200 miles a week on it minimum, and the last build I went over 30k miles before the top end rebuild. This is a fresh build now with about 8k on it with some nice upgrades. Should last longer still.
