im contemplating this now. this not possible on the rears? unreliable or what? then you could swap from 4 lug to 5 and back whenever you might need to.

Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't that be in metric? I know the studs are listed as 12mm, and 1/2" is a little bigger than 12mm. Not a good thing if you think about it.

whats preventing the stud from spinning around when you try to tighten your lugnuts, if you just drill a hole for the new studs?

The thread size is 12mm. The stud shank itself is probably 13mm (1/2") where the splines go into the hub (never actually measured a lug stud shank). I do remember the shank is wider to help in strengthMy main concern with this method is precision. If you're off by a little bit, you can potentially ruin a hub. Also, how did the splines on the studs treat you going into a fresh hole?

thats why you suppose to driil it with a drill bit a little smaller than the stud so when the stud goes in the end of the stud goes in with pressure.

welding is prob not worth it. you may do more harm than good putting all that heat into the hub which should be true and flat. conducting electricity through the bearing is bad for the bearing too, though you may be able to avoid that for the most part.

thats interesting.i dont see why this isn't a good choice if it holds up the only thing im concerned about is Strength. wouldn't you Weaken the Hub by drilling more holes in it? or would that matter if theres not much Pressure going directly on the hub since its just spinning. and also how do you know where exactly to drill the holes?
if you make the slightest mistake. the hub will be unbalanced.

This seems like an extremely bad idea from an engineering standpoint. Your sacraficing the integrity of the material by adding more holes. Even filled in I dont think it will hold the same strength as original.

thats why you use a 5 lug rotor and put it on top then you tighten it down with the stud and a lug nut | Quote, originally posted by tctomasc » | | This seems like an extremely bad idea from an engineering standpoint.

as you can see in the big pic above the holes arent toether they are separated by a lot

hell you could probably get a 4 lug hub for free.. and people use this same method when doing 300zx brakes on 4 lug.. just drill the rotors for four lug.. its the same principal now i dont have to waste 500 bucks for 5 lug conversion. I had a feeling when i clicked on this that it will involve drilling something..

well thats why you do a smalle hole for the stud just so the threat part goes in and the last part of the stud goes in with a lot of presure basicly hammering hard

and that doesn't answer his the question. im sure its fine but with absolutly No measurements. i just cant help but to mess something up. ha
but im 5lug already. just pickin ya brain man. its just the balance question that im stuck on. but i guess if you use a 5lug rotor and tourqe it down it should be fine does the rotor fit snug on the hub? i forgot? since your only using one hole.. you could still be off
