New rims with 4 to 5-lug conversion?

Laugh all you want because I know it's hella stupid question but if I upgrade my brakes to granda discs which are 5 lug I would have to get new rims right?

 

yes if you have the four lug pattern now you will need new rims.
and no i wont laugh because ever question needs answering.
i have had several questions that should have been common sense that i just never knew...so any question you have dont be afraid to ask it.

 

thanks man!

 

adapters

if I'm not mistaken I think there are 5 to 4 lug adapters maybe if you can find, I think I remember people using them for VW's or something. Not 100% sure but maybe someone else knows.

 

they do make them and i had found them before and didnt like the price..ive never had wheels that i care enough about the to buy them..i'll try to find them and put up a link

 

you should be able to buy some cheap steal wheels for less than the cost of the adaptors

 

so I just realized, I can't do my front disc brake conversion. Otherwise I'll have 5 lug in the front and 4 lug in the back!

 

just save the spindles til you get a new rear end....i've already got five lugs but i got a 75 mav with disc braks that im gonna but on my 72 mav am currently working on putting the axle from my wrecked explorer under it with disc brakes

 

the only difference that will make is...you will need 2 spares untill you get the 5 lug rear...or...drive it in hopes you don't have a flat on the front...50/50...

I seem to recall Dennis (Mavaholic) is working on putting together a 4-lug disc brake swap kit.

 

time to find cheap rims then I guess. see, I never thought about that when I was planning my disc brake swap, it's not sure the cost of swap but gotta factor in the rims!! Ahhh, older and wiser . . . well, definitely older!
