5 lug help

I am looking to convert my N/A 1986 rx7 to turbo and I am going to convert it to five lug and i was wondering if you could just change the half shafts and hubs or do I have to change the differential and driveshaft as well?
Thanks Alan

I'm pretty sure you just have to swap the spindles and the axles fit into there.

OR at least that's what i always thought.

When i had a 4 lug i could never find any real information about it.

okey your doing 2 things at once,

for the 5 lug swap, you change hubs, and calipers

with the turbo swap you wanna change the tranny, driveshaft, rear diff and halfshafts.
