i wanted to pick some 5 lug conversion bolt on's but idk where to get them from... i also don't know how it would work with my 240. i wanted to know if i would have any problems with them. i wanted to run front and rears if they are even made. i did here that the size of the spacers is huge though would this mean i have to roll my fenders? lmk if anyone knows.

thanks

There is a sticky around here for them, I believe at a discounted rate. I haven't heard any problems with them; I'd be more curious as to what rotors would go on them.~Nick

S14 SE came with 5 lugs. Just change your hub for one of them. Dont worry if you have an older 240, S13 and S14 are mechanically identical.

s13 and s14 fronts are not the same. if you're going to use s14 5 lug hubs, you need other parts to complete that swap.

You will need the S14 front lower ball joints to bolt onto the S13

order 5 lug hubs from http://www.driftfactory.com. they are a easy bolt on, no other parts. if your mechanically inclined [less than 20min install]. the rears i pulled off a 300zx and used the hubs, no other parts.

no need to roll fenders, i think there was a thread on zilvia for this conversion step by step

Well they may need to roll depending on the size/offset of the wheel/tire combo.

Why anyone would need a step by step on this is really beyond me. Ok maybe if they're using the s14 parts, but for the most part you're undoing that hardcore large wheel hub nut, pull your old 4 lug hub off and slap the new 5 lug hub on for the front and the rear you've got those 4 bolts holding in the bearing but that's seriously about it. One of the most straight forward jobs you will encounter.
