Question big brake kit

hi
this post is to find out some info
starters: i have a gsl se and i upgraded the front brake system with biilys kit but i used the 1986 4 lug hubs to keep my rims which are four lug. the only problem with that is that the rotors dont fully cover the pads, its not what i want.
so....
has any one else figured a way to get a bigger rotor to fit the four lug hubs?
i have tried redrilling a set of 5 lugs to fit but the spacing on the rotors mounting hub i think wont work. i think the 5 lug rotors are taller.
but any tips would help.

You do not want to use 4 lug rotors with the big brake kit.

You will need a pair of 5 lug TurboII rotors. You will find the center of one of the existing 5 lug holes and then drill 3 new holes.

This is the standard way we do it. Many have this setup.

ok i got it to work, i placed the bolt spacer and lock washer on the braket side of the caliper and it finally all lines up.i had the spacer on one side of the caliper and the lock washer on the other nad the rotor would rub the caliper. but i think i might have stripped a bolt . could you tell me the bolt info so i can get another.
thanks

M14 size bolt. Take the old one with you so you can match up the thread pitch.
