Hey guys I searched and got all my info about converting to 5-lug. But my last question is if i am goin to, or try to run 18x10 saleens in the rear and 9's in the front would it be easier to just do drums in the rear instead of discs. I would like your alls thoughts on this. Would the saleens even fit?

If it's simply a question of what's easier... of course it's easier to keep the drums.

But if you want to talk about what stops better, and what has the bling to keep up with big see-through-'em wheels...

if you have the cash, go disc, but youre going to want fox-length axles anyway for those wheels so drums wont hurt anything at all. you can always change it out to discs later, that what ill be doing when i do mine, fox length axles with drums for now, and then a couple years down the road ill go rear cobra disc.

With the Saleen's definately go with discs. They are a very heavy wheel and also very open wheel. IMO the drums will look terrible w/ 18" saleens.

I agree with matt the rims are going to look pretty bad with drums behind them and disc have a better stopping power than drums.

also Matt hows everything with that guy from burke?
