Default 1/5 Bodies on 5B

Does anyone know if 1/5 sedan bodies are a close-enough fit on the Baja 5B in terms of width and wheelbase? Also, does anyone make adapters for FG, etc road rims to fit on the 5B? Thanks!

I spent quite a while looking for a 1/5 sedan body. Most everything I found was from overseas and none of them gave wheelbase or any other dimensions. I ended up making my own Dirt Late Model body for mine.

The wheelbase and width are wrong to get a "normal" 1/5 body on, these are typically 380-420 mm wide and with a wheelbase on 510-535 mm. The Baja almost qualifies as a 4th-scale compared to them.
