5 Lug conversion. Performance or Options?

[MSM0075]

I've been wondering latley..I noticed alot of people convert to 5 lug. Is it beacuse of the different wheel options, or is it a preformance upgrade?

Both for me

5 lug gives more clamping strength for road course and drag racing. Means your less likely to shea off a wheel stud, though I have gotten pretty wild in my Stangs and never had a problem.

Also by switching to 5 lug the options for wheels is much much greater.

I like the wheel optons available with 5lugs. Also, the brakes are better, espeically if you get twin piston PBR's and rear disks while your at it.

I am using a SN95 rear end so I can get the 5 lug and rear discs. The big money outlay now is getting a front SN95 brake setup so I can have all 1996 SN95 brakes.
