6 lug or 5 lug?

I used ECE parts and changed to 5 lug, only because I could find more 5 lug wheels in my price range. Wish I would've had the money for the wheels I really wanted and stayed 6 lug.

Many of you are mentioning how the wheels move in or out with the various spindle swaps... Can someone give a run-down on which swaps do what? I'm currently on the stock '70 power drum/drum 6-lug. If I have the option I'd like to swap to 6-lug discs up front with the wheels at the same width. Out back the wheels could move out some, but I don't see how I'd do that without running different offsets front and back? Or a staggered setup with a wider wheel out back.

For the stock look on a pre-71 drum-to-disk swap, use 71-87 K10/K5 wheels. Look bone stock, 6 lug, clear the caliper. They are in high demand (especially by the 60-66 crowd), so ya gotta keep your eyes open for them.
