5 Lug Conversion - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I did a search on this and came up with nothing. How much will this cost? Where can I get the parts? I'm looking to buy new rims and tires, but I can't really find anything wide enough in 4 lug configuration. If this doesn't cost too much then I will be able to get some wider rims and tires. Thanks.

i was told by SP Engineering in cali 877-605-8545 that the 5lug hubs and rotors simply bolt on, ur choice calipers...240sx or 300zx upgrade. these are nice guys and run a big perf shop specializing in 240sx, supra, etc. they'll sell ya anything ya want too, i think pretty good prices$
i found same problem finding 4lug wheels i liked and WILL be doing the upgrade to 5lug over the winter so i have much bigger choice, but sorting out body now!

Go to www.sr20parts.com they have a 5 lug conversion there

first, you have to get a hold of a S14 SE, or a S15. The back hubs will just swap out, but the fronts need to have the SE/S15 knuckles and lower ball joint too. Your existing strut holes that the knuckles bolt to may have to be drilled larger to accomodate the larger bolts from the SE/S15. You have to use the knuckles in the front because the hub is larger, and won't fit on your 4-lug knuckles. Any more questions, feel free to ask...

i checked out the site w/ the 5 lug conv. kit, but it's for s13's. i really don't want to pay 2 much for everything 2. i've checked the junkyards here and have called other junkyards from nearby towns, but have yet to come across a s14 SE, which is mainly why i posted this thread.  thanks for all the help though. i will probably just keep the 4 lug config. for now, unless i find the parts around here in the near future, then i will definitely ask more questions.
