4 lug or 5 lug? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ok so i got one peice closer to my 300zx brake upgrade and will probably buy the other caliper soon in the next week. rotors i can get from work.

question is would it be esential and better for me to get the 5 lug hub's? as far as not having to drill the rotors for 4 lug. would i have a wider choice as far as rims and tire size?

my buddy i work with has a 95 240 so one day if i feel the need to swap to that setup i can see if his works on my 89.

anyone got info on this?

I dono what lugs would have to do with tire sizes but yes, i've heard it will give you more options on rims.

It gives you LOTS more options on wheels.  All the good four lug wheels have to be bought in japan and are expensive as ####.  Go five lug if your gonna buy wheels.  That the main reason anyone does it.

ok now for the 5 lug conversion i remeber reading to get the front 300zx ones and rear 240's or vice versa

is this true or would the 240s work all the way around?
if no one knows this i will see if it works using my friends 240 parts. i already have rims but want some better ones the ones i got were to replace the rally steel black hubcapless rims i had on there prior <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I thought you could use the 240's all around.  From any 95 up SE
