Wow, you don't hear this very often. A guy wanting to switch from 5-bolt to 4-bolt. Maybe you and a Galant driver should hook up; most would be very willing to do the swap...obviously.

I think you would be happier sticking with the 5-bolt. I mean, older Mustangs used 4 bolt hubs, so four is pretty strong, but 5 bolts/lugs is certainly stronger. From your profile, I have to assume you are FWD. I am not sure how this would work with a Galant swap though. The Galant VR-4 shares drivetrain stuff with our AWD cars, but I am not sure if the FWD Galant (non-VR4) does. I guess you would have to check into that. All the Galant stuff was 4-bolt hubs, but the swap would be a bit of work.

My suggestion is that you sell the wheels and get some others that fit. 5 X 114.3 mm is a very common bolt pattern and you can get most wheels in most sizes to fit. This BC is also shared by some Mazda, Ford and others.
