Default Cheapest 5 stud conversion mk2

I am building a mk2 escort burnout car and want to know what is the cheapest way to convert to 5 stud front and maybe some slightly bigger brakes and if so how much does it cost or has it cost you as I'm building this car on a budget

Both UPC and hoppers stoppers do A 5 stud front end...or perhaps should say they don't do a 4 stud!! try there. as for the rear end are you upgrading brakes of staying with drums. That might determine what can be done.

I did the UPC kit for the front and Hilux diff in the rear. 5 x 114.3 all round which increases rim selection exponentially. You have to run minimum 15" with UPC kit though.

I have a spare kit at home if you are interested. You can have it for $600

Hey Mr Turbo esky, I'm doing the same conversion off what model car have you found to get wheels with the closest offset?
