drilling 4 lug hub to 5 lug? dosnt seem safe.

[thrasherx89]

i read today that you could have a machine shop drill 114.5 5 lug pattern into the 4 lug hug and have the lugs inserted

that dosnt seem very safe...any thoughts?

i did it, just tripple check its all measured correctly, stud holes are the right size, machine the back properly.. been running on it for a few months now and prob put close to 3k miles on it, long drives, drifting, etc. not a problem at all! highly suggest i as long as its DONE RIGHT. plus w/e if u screw up 4 lug hubs are pretty much given away. get a extra set and do it up. only on fronts though btw. not rears. you can find s14 rears for cheap anyway and s13 wheel bearings fit them.

haha damn! i wanted them to work for the rear

cause i got a pair of 240sx front hubs and a pair of j30 front hubs and i was thinking on just taking it to get the bearings pressed in and machined for the clip instead of getting the 4 lug drilled

yeah my freind found some rears online for pretty cheap, gotta get those and the bearings put in and im good to go

thanks for the info i was puzzled when i read that

p.s. why dosnt it workf or the rears?

is it cause its shapped all weird like the fronts are round and the rears sorta looks like it comes out for the lugs?
