convert. 4 lug to 5 lug ?

Is converting a 4 lug bolt on a second gen rx-7 to a 5 lug bolt from another FC a simple swap or is everything different and not so interchangeable.

To my knowledge everything is interchangable, but it isn't esactly easy due to the amount of stuff that needs to be swapped. I think the main thing that isn't plug and play is the brake lines, but I don't have any specific info on it.
