VW made a plate that did it , but they had lug bolts not studs I think it was recommended for more show cars than normal rides though
No real good reason unless you want a certain 5 lug wheel
Unless you , like go crazy and put a v8 in it ,then need more grip tires wheels ... The design / engineering. of a car starts with wheel wheel base you know

The rear is no problem to convert to 5 x 4.5 from 4 x 4.5
The front is not straight forward. The best solution would be to make hub, you might be able to adapt one also.
For a while, I was going to swap the spindle with a dropped mustang II, but I sold that car and bought a 67.5 2000.

Its mainly for the show cars, nothing to do with the comfort or anything. I guess I just make a custom plate for the conversionredroadster wrote: Wed May 13, 2020 1:12 pm VW made a plate that did it , but they had lug bolts not studs I think it was recommended for more show cars than normal rides though
