I am trying to do a 5 lug conversion, but I can find anything what i need because i don't know what type of rotor I have to have. OR if i can still use my regular caliper... OR if I need to upgrade those or what I need to get it done. Any advice would be appreciated. or were to star .Please?



I got my rear hub 5 lug , and my front caliper front 300zx.

Now I am looking for the front conversion, my question it is the bearing from s13 are different from the s14?.or are the same.

Yes search please.

For the front you needS14 5 lug hubsS14 KnucklesS14 LCA's or S13 LCAs with S14 LBJs pressed into themYou then need a reducer for the S13 shocks / coils since the S14 knuckles use a larger strut to knuckle bolt.

Or just good old conversion hubs with OE bearing (s13 bearing that is)

RearZ32 NA (only na) or S14 5 lug hubs.

You can swap to 5 lug without a brake upgrade. This is for people who do not require bigger break stopage and want the better 5-lug wheel options. S14 5-lug rear rotors will fit.

On a budget use Q45 brakes in the front, or Z32 and keep the S brakes in the back, use the SE S14 rotors
