They could be if they are hubcentric. they are spacers with studs right?

jspec has them here

but they are expensive. it looks like the cheapest way to convert to five lug all around is to get two 300zx na hubs(those bolt right onto the rear, and get those two hubs for the front. unless you can find a junked s14 with 5 lug...

S14-body 240 hubs and spindles are a direct swap. the S14 hubs won't go on the S13 spindles though get all the parts.

the S14 hubs aren't direct bolt ons because of the spindle differences between the S13 and S14 if i'm not mistaken. what year 240 are you running?

if you're running an S14, you're ok. find some new hubs to bolt on, but if you're running an S13, you'll need new spindles, new hubs, new ball joints, and new suspension if you opt for the lighter aluminum 300ZX spindles

That's why I emphasise you need the hub and the spindle from the S14. I have a Silvia but a buddy in the states sent me some five lug 240SX hubs. Sounds backasswards don't it?

the silvias came with stock aluminum spindles, didn't they? and why would your buddy send you the 240 hubs??
