for those of you with SR20's, do you ever have traction problems with the SR on 15" wheels? can the SR push 17"s without slowing down acceleration too badly? just curious because im looking into some rims and i dont want to have to buy another set after the SR is installed. Also, can someone tell me how to convert my lug nuts to a 5 lug?,

appreciate it

any other 240s in Virginia?

As far as slowing the car down any, that all just depends on the weight of the wheel. I believe the stock 15s weigh in at around 17 lbs each but im not sure on that one. If you get something close to that in weight you'll be just fine and even if you get something just slighty heavier you won't notice too much of a difference. For the 5 lug conversion you'll need: the front 5 lug hubs from a 95-98 s14 se, any s14 front spindles (along w/ the bolts, they are larger), S14 ball joint for the control arm, rear hubs and spindles from a 300zx.
