FB wheel lug conversion

What’s up all,
I had a quick question. What’s the best way to go about converting my FB 4Lug pattern to a 5lug pattern? I would like to make this happen but just don’t know the way to go about it. Also, I don’t want adapters or spacer conversions. I want a proper wheel hub conversion. I also want to know, after I perform the conversion what’s the brake set up I need to use if I purchase a kit from Wilwood or Brembo?

For the front, you can upgrade to T2 brakes with the kit found in the link below. Then you should be able to get a big brake kit for an FC. https://www.driftingdadperformance.c...conversion-kit

For the rear, you could have your stock axles redrilled and use T2 parts. Just need to fab a caliper bracket.

I have an old re-speed T2 brake kit for my car, with the brackets for the front and the rear. Maybe you could post a wtb ad in the marketplace section to see if you could find one of their old kits.
