Hi guys,
Going from 5-lug to 4-lug on my s14. I'm just trying to make a checklist of all the parts I will need to successfuly swap everything over.
- 5-lug hubs front/rear S14- 5-lug wheels- 5-lug rotors
What else? I'd assume I will need new 5-lug rotors, what else?
4-lug to 5-lug, what do I need?

The only thing you need to do is Search "5 lug". PLenty enough threads available to figure that out.

If you are planning on pulling all the parts you need off of an S14 you will need:
-S14 Front knuckles and 5 lug hubs-S14 Front lower control arms (I found it easier to just pull the whole hub/knuckle connected to the LCA without pulling them apart at the ball joint. Of course if the ball joint looks nasty, pull em apart and press in a new one)-S14 Rear 5 lug hubs
If you dont want to use the S14 LCA's (I think they are 10mm wider than the S13's) You can just buy aftermarket five lug hubs and swap them out easy peasy right off your own S13 knuckle.
I've done it both ways, and I was happier with using the S14 parts.
(Oh, and obviously re-drilled rotors and 5 lug rims. I find it a good time to upgrade to 300zx brakes during the swap)
*edit lol just saw you are running an S14 not 13

Re: (blacksrjdm)
Yeah, its an S14. Ok, so all I need are the hubs and the rotors, and the wheels and I am good to go.
Is $500 reasonable for all four hubs?

more like 200, 100 per pair.for the rears u can use z32.instead of getting 5lug rotors, u can redrill ur 4lug ones into 5.Dazzla wrote:Yeah, its an S14. Ok, so all I need are the hubs and the rotors, and the wheels and I am good to go.
