There are kits out there for a 5 lug convert. The granada rotor/bearings will fit your pinto spindles. The wheels will be put outboard about 5/16" on either side, removing of the splash sield, and some cutting of the lower control arms will be needed. I pruchased the kit from rjays.com for about 240 shipped. Had to buy the hoses/b-bolts local, I used 1988 chevy s10 blazer 4x4 2.8v6 front hoses, and tweeked the ends.
