Red face adapter or Rotor?

I have an 87 Base modle RX-7. For this year the base modle had a 4 bolt wheel pattern while all the modles above it had a 5 bolt pattern. I dont know alot about the RX-7's in general so i was wondering if they made an adapter or if its just a matter of switching the rotors. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
THANX.

you can't just switch the rotors. it would be better to get the 5 lug assembly and swap them in. i think its cheaper and a hell of a lot better than running on adapters.

I don't think there's any sort of kit to adapt the 5 lug stuff. Just swap it over.

they do make 4 to 5 lug adapters. they are kind of rare, kind of expensive and IMO kind of unsafe.

it essentially looks like a 4 bolt spacer that has 5 lug studs presseed into it.
