Yes, but why? The axel (or 'stub') thereof, can be changed, if so desired. Check out resources at online parts, or in your local boneyard.

yes it is possible. don't do it though. it requires an adapter which is about as safe as removing your seatbelts. if you are trying to fit rims...and you have them-sell em or put em in the back of your closet and get new onesif you dont have em yet, go to tirerack.com or tires.com and find ones that fit your car. these days you can find any style rim to fit any lug config. if you dont like the ones on those sites, ebay has the cheapest, and using google, you can find a way to buy any rim online. there are literally millions of different rims

If you do want to change the number of studs, the correct way to go about it would be to get new wheel bearings, new 5 stud wheel hubs and a set of rims all around. You would first remove the control arm and remove the old hub and bearing. Next install the new bearing and hub. Re-install the control arm and mount the wheels. Now, this is the short version. The whole job would take an experienced tech about 5 hours (Mounting tires to rims and then replacing 4 hubs and bearings). Needless to say, it's a big job and might not be worth the time or money.

yes but the only reason you would wanna do this is because of rim that you might already have or can get cheap and trust me the cost of changing it over will be way more that you save on the rims and you will not gain anything but wieght thats it no other possitive results will come from it
