wouldnt those adapters space your wheels out like crazy? go with a 5 lug swap(i sold one a few months ago for either 200 or 250, cant remember, it consisted of the entire front and rear knuckle/spindles/rotor and front calipers) youre an ex so you just need whats in the swap listed in the fs section and front v6 calipers i believe(extra stopping power is another bonus of five lug)

That was just a picture to show they exist. I don't have a link for you. Also, it's not the best way to do it lol. Just saying that's the cheap incorrect way. Sorry. I think there are a couple of people on here selling 5 lug swap parts.

Adapters change your effective offset, by quite a bit. Some of the smaller adapters I've seen are 15mm in width, so you have to compensate that difference into your wheel/offset selection. IMO, this is not a good route to go with unless there is absolutely no hope for what you'd like.

Five lug conversions are permanent, and you can use all sorts of different wheels on them. Additionally, you don't have to worry about your wheels sticking out an additional 15-20mm. For those who have drum brakes, you also get disk brakes.

he's already got rear disks, which makes the swap sooo much easier, but you upgrade to bigger front calipers and rotors when you go 5 lug, which must make a decent difference with the 4cyl
