5-bolt on a 914

Thanks, Racer, for the return note. I do have 5-bolt wheels on both the front and rear. I'm no expert by any means, so are you telling me that the car had to have a conversion to a 911 suspension in the front and rear to utilize these 5-bolt wheels?

Second follow up, would the use of 5-bolt wheels require a change in the OEM brakes?

Thank you,
Dan

You don't mention if your current issue is with the front or the rear.
