    Hello GANG,
 been lurking here for awhile and want to ask a question about changing over
to 5 lug wheels.I know that changing over to a '90 rotor will work, BUT will
the rear axles work if I change over from 6 lug to a 5 lug axle. If not,
just a simple swapping out the axles, what will be needed, besides the
obvious, and swapping a different axle assembly. This is for a '95-8 1/4
with automatic tranny. We have MANY salvage yards here in Colorado Springs,
and I would like to go the cheapest route. I have been lucky and have a good
rear axle assembly with Posi-unit. I just want a better wheel selection and
go with Cragar's "Starwire" wheel.
 Thanks.
