... Really?

You'll have to replace the Hubs(all 4) , then your going to need brake rotors to accomidate 5 lug.
When you have all this apart changing the wheel bearings wouldn't be a bad idea.

It's not going to be cheap...

buy 5 bolt wheels, and jsut put in one bolt. not the cleanest swap, but it gets the job done. But yea, hubs, disc brakes, new calipers probably, new wheels. I don;t personally think it is worth it, as there are alot of 4 blt rim designs

...are you suggesting adding one bolt to a 4 bolt lug? Maybe I read that wrong, or maybe your joking, I don't know.

All you need are 5 lug hubs, 5 lug rotors, and 5 lug wheels. And for some car owners, a lot of the time s-chassis owners, swap in 5 lug because it is hard to find good offset wheels in 4 lug.

its hit or miss depending on the rims. I've seen it done on rims with centre caps that cover the bolts.

What kriS13 said is probably your best bet and he would know as he was going to switch it so he could fit his sweet wheels but I guess it would be easier just to switch the car! you can buy some nine bolts i think but maybe it would be best to see if there is a conversion kit for your car. However with all that being said the real question is? Are you having trouble finding wheels?

lol rember these kiddy's all run FWD they dont have problems finding a 0 or maybe a +11 or -20 offset cuz it wont fit under there cars! lol. but yes 5 lug is easy if you know what you need to do it. some cars need more than others. or you can be like me and redrill for 4 lug and big brake swap Razz
