hey guys, just wondering what i need to get, or should replace, once i get the 5 lug rear end. should i upgrade the control arms in the process? i'll be putting in my 3.73s when i do the swap aswell, and asfar as brakes go, how should i hook up the rear calipers?? thats where im stuck the most

ps - will 235/55/r17s rub? i know its offtopic but i asked in the talk section and didn't get a reply thanks!

You want 235/45/17" tires....not 235/55/17's. Those would be huge.

As long as they are 17x8 wheels you'll be fine
