You cannot have enough of WD40 ;).
Nearly every bolt was seized solid. It was a nightmare to do, but suppose woth it in the end.
You absolutely need a lift to do this job. If your to do this on your own, budget at least 2days.
 
The disks are the same size as OEM ITR disks.
Tbh, i actually never measured them, i just stuck them on lol!

I will have a lift...and I'm a certified mechanic lol. I was wondering if there was any parts you needed to replace or anything you needed to buy in order to finish the job. Doing the 5 lug swap seems pretty straight forward but I just wanted to be sure.

Ah okay. Im not a mechanic so i was a good bit slower at everything.
The anti-roll bar droplinks may need to be replaced and RTA bushings.....but other than that i think everything should be okay.
Where your buying a 5stud conversion, check that the wheel bearings are good.
