They will look good but all the hassle of changing hubs which iirc includes sourcing some, having them machined down and fitting new bearing etc then i'd just buy some better wheels in the first place.

You will also need to buy 4 tyres I would assume as the cav wont be running 195/45's.

Look for Benn's project thread on mig as he's in the middle of a 5 stud conversion...

Rolling radius will still be more or less the same mate, so wont help traction that much, even with 16's my xe use to light up easily as Gregg said. Best way to more traction is probably saving up for a quaiffe lsd.

It's the width of the 14's that don't help I've seen wider hot dogs.

Do it. Leave the pre 97 bumpers, do the Turbo rims and learn to use your right foot properly.

Then you'll have no traction problems, and an awesome looking car

Keep it as a sleeper, plastic bumpers, turbo rims, tweeked engine and an LSD. You can pick LSD's up fairly cheap new you know! Quaife aren't a fortune in my opinion.
