I think I spelled that right....anyways does anyone know of any 5 lug conv that are being made/already availble for the Versa or if you can you one from another nissan would it work?

I searched on nicoclub and google...everything came up 240sx

Anyone have any insight on this or would be interested in having one made??!

I'm interested too. I have rims I bought for my Altima that I would like to use. I would think you could use the hub assembly from an Altima or Maxima. The Altima brakes would be smaller so fittment would be easier with them I would think. Probably fairly costly with out having a junk yard to grab parts from.

no real company makes a 5 lug conversion kit. they are generally parts remove from other vehicle that has the same hub make up and adapted to the current car. So as far as something working to be used, good luck. Maybe in two/three years, there will be another car produce that will use similar suspension setup as the Versa, and the 5 lug parts can be adapted pretty easy but currently your luck out.

Now if you ask why there is a company making a 5 lug conversion for the 240sx, it is because there is such a huge market of people doing the 4lug to 5 lug conversion, and the shortage of part that a company produce the conversion kit. It been a while since i read, but i believe most of the part were either new 240sx hubs or even hubs from the skyline in Japan.

I as have a feeling you wanna switch you lug on account of the rims. Yes the selection for 4 lug rim is horrible, it is even worse for our bolt patter, which is 114.3 but if you had a bolt pattern of 100, we would have access to way more rims. Sigh, i own a prelude with the same bolt pattern and have look into doing this too. It a total custom setup, and no one would have no clue where to start, begin, or end. Cheers.

the closest relted car with a 5-lug setup would probably be the new sentra se-r. to determine if it's even reasonable to do such a swap woul require getting the brake hardware from both the front and rear of at least one side and comparing, going from there.
