Anyone have pics of a 5-Lug conversion? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Not so much the conversion but what it looks like with the wheel off? I am kinda lost on how the whole 5-Lug conversion works... Do you replace the rotor etc.?

i have a pic of it in my sig not without the wheel though. you can redrill the rotors to 4 lug  say if you had z32 bvrakes cause i did that before i went 5 lug but i tried to do the rear rotors since i didnt want to spend more money, didnt work out to well. but can be done if need be.

there is also more info on whats needed in the faq about this

It looks the same way your car looks with the wheel off, except there are five studs instead of four.

Really going to look the same just and extra lug in there.
I dont really see the point of going 5 lug. Unless there is some god almight rim out there that you cannot find in 4x114.5. And if so then probably some wheel that cost 600 bucks each... like want to race on those... only other thing I could think of is if you were going to do something crazy and put full on skyline rotors and calipers... Still no purpose here thoug..
Waste of good money I think.... Just my opinion... Not dogging you either camppain cause I think you have a nice ride...

'> only reason i went 5 lug is cause my z32 calipers wouldnt clear my 17's i had before so i knew s14 se rims would clear and had a good price on rims and tires and went ahead with the swap. gives a more unique look nothing to big though.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
