99 rear hubs are 4 lug...



I've have yet to successfully see a 5 lugs swaps on RD platforms. Many have claimed they did it and had pictures, but could never tell us exactly how they did it, besides re drilling the hubs which i would never do imo

you need the rear cross memeber from a GK. the fronts are bolt in but the rear linkage is compeltely diffrent.



i have all the spindles you need if your intrested. 100+shipping for everything

the easiest way i think is to get GK front hubs and spindles as well as brake components which MUST be out of a 4 cilinder car so that your elantra axels fit and the front is basically plug and play



for the rear in your case i would convert to 99-01 tib so that you get the rear discs you want and then get a pair of billet 1" adapter spacers that bolt to the wheel studs and have the 5x114 lug pattern



and presto 5 lug with rear disc

^^easier option



but brakes will be the same bolt pattern and size either way. even better option is to do xg bbk in the process
