Use the 50resto kit...400 bucks and really really easy to put in...comes with all the oil, seals, and bearings too.
I highly recommend it unless your using a few certain "concave" looking wheels...the dust caps will be in the way.

The cheapest easiest 5-lug actually is the most difficult to fit 5-lug wheels with.

Check out the last two issues of Car Craft. The junkyard crawl articles cover interchangable axles/rotors. Of course, the mjbobbitt site has all the info you could ever need.

Like was said above, the cheapest 5 lug set ups limit your choice of wheels.
