4-lug upgrade swap for FB 4x110 cars?
So after a fair amount of research, I am coming up empty handed. It seems there is substantial information out there for the FC, but not a ton on the FB. I am looking at putting my FB on the track for road course events and am trying to make the most of my $500 car budget. I was interested in upgrading the wheels and brakes but it seems the stock 4x110 lug pattern is a bit restricting. Is there a 4-lug or 5-lug upgrade out there for the FB? I'd even settle for a 4x114.3 pattern upgrade just to get some wider wheels and better rubber selections. I was thinking the GSL-SE might have some suspension bits that I could use possibly, but couldn't find proof that this would work. Any suggestions?
1982 GSL FB 5-speed, 4x110 lug pattern, factory disc front brakes and rear drum brakes.

There is an upgrade kit if you can find them. Since you have the small spindles, you will need 1984/1985 spindles. To do the upgrade, you need a kit similar to the old RE-Speed kit. There is a guy selling them on eBay every once in a while. The kit is about $400. You will also need to the associated 2nd gen stuff (caliper, pads, rotors, brake lines) and also new rear axles or have yours drilled.
Do some research on this forum. The info is here. You're looking at $500-$1000 depending on which route you go.
A cheaper alternative would be to get wheel adapters. I'm not a fan of those.
Next you need to find wheels with the correct offset.
