So you've all heard of 5 lug conversions. An s14 spindle rotor and hub. That seems really expensive and time consuming to me, so my idea is a 1inch spacer with a 4x114.3 input plate and a 5x100 output plate, still workin out the kinks in this design, lemme know what u think

I'm sure it'll work but If you want 5 lugs its not that expensive but it is work and requires just basic tools and some muscle. But if you are trying to kill two birds with one stone, good luck.

Why the hell would you go to 5x100 instead of 5x114.3?

And I saw them on JDM s13s and s14s drift cars all the time. Must be pretty safe. Just make sure to buy well known brand.

those spacers are pretty expensive though. i was just looking at spacers alone one time and it wouldve been like 300 dollars or so.

you can almost buy the ichiba hubs with that. come on.
