Default 5 lugs on a Canyon

Ok as stupid as this may sound, I've yet to venture into the world of wheels and mods like that.. so i'm kinda wondering how difficult it's going to be to get a corvette 5 lug pattern on a 07 GMC Canyon, I'll probably start modding my Canyon and working on putting an ls2 in it, but I want 5 lugs first.. I love the endless wheels you can add.. so if anyone has some good info on this they'd like to share, I'd appreciate it very much. thanks!

You could take your hubs and axles to get the holes redrilled for whatever pattern you want.

But as far as longevity, on the rear is that going to cripple it? I mean I'd like to put some power to the wheels one day..

you can call up strange or somebody like that and tell them what you wanna do and they can make you some strong axles for the rear with whatever bolt pattern you want.
The front shouldnt be hard to do at all if you can find a good machine shop.
