So I just bought an 88 S12 for a winter beater. Come to find out when I drive 6 1/2 hours to get there, my $285 ebay beater just turned into a steal. This car is clean! V6, 5 speed, black/grey 2 tone. Loaded. Well I happened to notice it was a 5 lug. I put my S14 SE wheels on it for fun and they look great. I needed to put them back on my S13 as the stock S12 wheels wont clear Z brakes. But I do have a few questions

Would I be able to swap the rear bearing carriers out to make my other S13 5 lug? I used N/A Z32 rear hubs/bearing carriers and attain GTO front hubs for my other S13. I dont really want to invest much money into my summer daily driver S13, but it'd be nice to be able to interchange the wheels between both of my cars.

Also, the car needs suspension and there are none to be found in the salvage yards here. The chassis look similar enough to assume perhaps the suspension between my 240 and the 200 will work?

Sorry for the long post, just figured Id see what help I can get from all of you. Thanks a lot
