5x120.65mm / 5x4.75” hubs for a 240SX? Does such a thing exist?

First off, I did search but I found no results. Second, I have no idea where this goes. It's not exactly wheel/tire material, nor is it technical stuff for the 240SX. So, I'll stick it here, and if anyone sees fit to move it where it belongs, then thanks.

I got to pondering 5 lug swaps for the 240SX. The one that everyone does leaves you with a 5x114.3mm / 5x4.5” bolt pattern. I don't have any real problems with this swap. What I do have is a surplus of 5x120.65mm / 5x4.75” wheels.

I could probably have a set of adaptors/spacers made to make the 5x120.65mm / 5x4.75” wheels fit on the 5x114.3 / 5x4.5" pattern if I did the swap. But I'd rather have 5x120.65mm / 5x4.75” pattern hubs instead of adapters.

Has anyone heard of or encountered hubs of such a nature, and if not, can anyone think of a decent way to make or modify existing hubs from something to fit?

Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Please don't do it, just sell your freak lug pattern wheels.

It's not a freak lug pattern. 4x140mm and 5x101.6mm / 5x4” are freak lug patterns. 5x4.75" has been a commonly used lug pattern for over 50 years.

Out of personal preference, I don't like doing the same thing everyone else does. I would keep my stock wheels, but with the plans I have for my car, it would be better to run a wider wheel. Since mine is a budget build, I see no reason to buy new wheels when I have better wheels that I can make work.

So no, unless it's proven totally unfeasible, I don't plan to sell the wheels and abandon the notion. Thanks for the support, though.

Isn't that a GM bolt pattern?

...which would explain it's common use...

If not, then just ignore me.

5x120 is euro for the most part and the 5x 4.75 would be GM.You mentioned feasible and budget. Let us know how the cake tastes.That said check H&R. They make some nice albeit expensive alternate pattern spacers.

Correct Most GM products came with this pattern, with various models and years being the exception.

Correct, 5x120mm is mostly (possibly exclusively) used by BMW, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the 5x4.75" pattern that GM uses.

It's a budget build. If I find out that there's another RWD car out there that has hubs that just need a little bit of machining to work, that leaves me with a feasible option. If it comes down to the only option being expensive, I'll abandon it.

I guess I'm going to need to start checking various hubs to see if they can be adapted to fit. Does anyone know if any of the 5 lug conversion hubs can be purchased without having been drilled for the 5x114.3mm / 5x4.5” pattern?
