What do I need to do to fir GSL-SE wheels on a 82 GS

I have a silver 82 GS. I plan to get 17 inch wheels all around. I have heard that you can get wheels custom drilled at a discount tire direct store and I might go that route. The thing is I would rather have a cool shiny disc brake than a drum. Is it expensive to convert a 4x110 to a 5x114.3 or whatever the se has.

Thanx

IT's not necessarily expensive... You just need to find an -SE in the junkyard and switch over all the fun parts

Here is a great site w/ all the info..

I have an '85 GSL rear-end. (discs w/LSD) It is a strait bolt in replacement. $100 plus shipping. You also get the control arms, watts link, sway bar, e-brake cables. Let me know if you want it.

The -SE is a 4 x 4.5" (114.3mm)

Do a search. The question has been answered here a bunch of times already...
