Thread: 5 lug swap

i was looking around and i saw a guy named psushoe who did a 5 lug swap to his SE http://myspecv.com/f/t168073-turbo-se-now-with-25-more-lugnuts.html

as well as the guy who inspired him to do it Mike Kojima's Nitto car

kinda old news i know but, i was thinking instead of having to dill the hubs to get the 5x114.3 bolt pattern why not swap out the hubs from the 07-09 B16/C16 to the B15? i think it might work.. the stock 2.0S has the same 4lug as us and the spec steps it up to 5lug seems like it would but we gotta see

I'm sure someone sooner or later is gonna try it out.... if not we can get some parts or a wrecked B16/C16 spec and ill try it out on my car see what happens.

Gotta get some hubs and see if they're compatible.

bump!

u find a wrecked car yet?? there gotta be some, somewhere...

nopee i gotta find a B16 spec some where, even if some one had one and we were doing say brakes maybe take the whole wheel assembly apart and try it out for the name of trying it out and finding out im down for that too

see if it fits and then just order parts from there

went to www.car-parts.com found some spindles for as cheap as 60 bucks for one side. seeing youre just gonna be testing this its probably better to just order one side and try it out and if it works then you can always get the other side. just have to call up the junkyards to see if the spindles are 4 or 5 lug.

well what ive done is keep your front stockers.. u can only use one stud from that. redrill the pattern. and for the rears either the maximas old school joints or do the same and have someone fill the holes. my only suggestion. its a complex thing but i will be done with a 5 lug conversion; heres my new wheels

those will go very nice with your whip.

yes! 17x8 17.8.5 rolled fenders 245 40 17 and ima try to fit 255 40 17 in rear. give it a RWD look. handling should be fine.
