idosubaru Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 there's a ton of threads, probably hard to find since "5" and "lug" are too short to search with. there's most importantly a complete 5 lug swap write up. you should read through those and ask what you don't understand. there's a bunch of ways to do it and variables, read the 5 lug swap thread in the USRM first, make a list, get a feel for it, then ask. essentially the critical hard to find parts are XT6 rear hubs and XT6 front control arms.

T'subaru Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 As GG mentioned above the XT6 subaru is your most direct route to a 5 lug conversion. Another option is a 5 lug kit by crossbread conversions, pm shawn w on this site for details. Another option is going 6 lug using all your original parts and being able to run all popular 6 lug toyota, nissan and others 4x4 6 lug rims, read thru the usmb repair manual on the main page..lots of good info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 2WD/4WD doesn't matter though. it's been asked before as well. same swap, same details. you can use rear XT6 2WD hubs instead of 4WD. you can still use 4WD rear hub assemblies too though, you just won't have axles attached to them. read through those threads and get a feel for it, the 2WD thing is a drop in the bucket for this swap.
