Sup guys, been busy saving up to buy goodies for my vert. I scored a nice deal on a set of staggered advans but they are 5lugs.

My buddy is selling me a complete 5lug swap for a s14(brakes,spindles rotors....). Wondering if the s14 5 lug will work with the s13's. If I rember correctly it works fine, I tryed to search for the anwer but got nothing. So any help?

thanks guys

You need sleeves.

OR

"If you are doing a 5 lug conversion on an S13 and you have nice coilovers on your car and like me do not feel like taking a drill to them to enlarge the holes to accomodate the larger diameter S14 bolts, here's what you do. Call a general machine shop in your area and tell them that you need steel sleeves made. They need to be 30mm long, have an I.D. of 11.91mm or .4685, and have an O.D. of 13.85mm or .5445 Thank You ALEX CHANG!You will need 4 of them and you can put them into your S14 spindles. This will decrease the size of the hole to accomodate the smaller diameter S13 bolts. I bought the S13 bolts and nuts from Nissan for $13.00 and I had the sleeves made for $35"

It might be just easyer to drill through the strut IMHO

I had 5 lug on my vert and my girl had 4 lug on her s14. I gave her my 5 lug but the hub for the fronts didnt just bolt up like i thought it would. So I just took the whole spindle with the hub. and actually made the s14 a little lower in the fronts. About the bolts, I just bought new strong bolts from a hardware store and drilled what I needed.

good luck, hope that helps.

Just don't get 'Agency Power' sleeves if you go that route. I got them and we had to grind the outsides to get them to fit in the knuckle holes. And then we had to grind the inside a bit to fit the bolt.
