Finally Going 5 Lug!!! Just a few questions!

[jdm_master_X]

So I am finally going to do the 5 lug swap after learning my wheel bearings all ball joints all took a dump.

-getting the s14 front spindles for $60. what else should i get? this is a flat rate price, so i can get more. the 4 hubs are already gone

-i can get MOOG balljoints at wholesale price.

-hopefully, my rear 5 lugs will be arriving soon....

-getting jeep cherokee meshies for $60

-already got the q45 brakes! so lets see...questions questions...

1. will my stock sized 15s from the SE wheels fit the cherokee meshes? the tires on the meshies are 235/75/R15 while the SE wheels are rockin 195/65/R15.

2. am i missing anything as far as front suspension from the S14??

3. does anybody know exactly how much the strut bolt holes need to be enlarged? maybe i can go to a metal warehouse and get some steel piping to act as sleeves so i dont have to drill into the strut.

4. where could i find S14 front hubs on the cheap? part number 40200-0V010 is what im looking for. does it matter if its an ABS or Non-ABS hub? above number is an ABS hub. Nissan has 13 different part numbers...eesh.

anyway, suggestions are welcome. thanks brothers!

Dont know much about the S13 5 lug swap, but...1) I think the Jeep wheels are 15x7. I think you need at least a 205 on those wheels. You should be able to get away with the SE tires for the time being. Yokohama lists a max of 7" wheels for 195/60 tires. Dont know how your larger sidewall would affect this.

UPDATE!!!

so i finally got the conversion done about an hour ago at MrZabala's house. predrilling 4 lug rotors to 5 lug is so confusing!

so i ran into a couple of issues such as wheel clearance and lug nut thread engagement. im surprised my car made it home as nicely as it did. im running on FC3S RX7 Rims for now, but i hope to get alternatives since it just sits so funky. im definitely going to get longer wheel studs, and i might have to get spacers.

the route i took were Z32 rears and Ichiba Front Hubs. excellent fitment!

geez im so new to this tire stuff! hahaha

the only question I have now is:

which extended wheel studs will fit the Z32 and Ichiba Hubs?
