Well today I attempted to do the 5 lug conversion on the rear.... Went to a couple places couldn't find any rotors except the oreiley's and they only had the rears. I decided to do the rears today seeing as those are the hardest and didn't have the rotors for the front. Things were going good for awhile actually going rather smooth thanks the use of air tools. After I bolt everything back up shits starts to hit the fan.... First the studs don't appear to be long enough then I can't get the stupid gorilla nuts to fit in the holes. I say **** it my friend had some turbo II wheels that he said I could borrow well turns out these ichiba hubs fail so bad that the studs are just about too short for them to mount properly oh well here are some pics of todays FAIL>..
Random guy at the mexi shop who mounted some rims on backwards for mad lippage LOL

meh wasn't really choice these just happened to show up in my time of need :D i was just gonna get some ARP ones. I guess I could do the vette ones for the fronts though since I still need to do the front.

finally finished the rears hehe Pressed the new studs in last night then work up this morning to finish it up. They rub a little bit still most likely because I didn't use a big enough pipe to roll the lip.

your SUPPOSED to get the holes opened up a little by a machine shop so it will be straight but you COULD just find some really hard washers and impact the shit out of them to mount right... i just installed ichiba rears but thanks to 30mm spacers i dont have to worry about this issue for the rear but i will have to install vette studs for the front... Weapons 17x9 +17= Rim on COIL!!! but SPL has them for 100 with a kit for mounting em...
