i was wondering if there is any down sides on having a 4 lug instead of 5 lug hubs on a s14 i know there are more rims for five lug patterns and im also going to put 300zx calipers on it which you would have to get the rotors redrilled to 4 lugs but is there any other downsides.

 

4 lug most wheels ****ty sizes, brake upgrades need rotors redrilled, both like you have said, any downsides to 5 lug? Not really that I can think of...

 

5 lug conversions are kinda pricey. its almost half of what i paid for my car!

 

then im just gonna get some cheap rims from rota which look nice any recommendations on offset for s14. i want a size that wont be rubbing because i dont want to pull the fenders nor do i want rims that are sunk in the fender the sizes i want are 16" and 7 inch wide in the front and 8 wide in the rear if you wanna look at it its the slipstream ones http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.php

 

if you REALLY want the slipstreams get the 16X8 +48 offset and 40 mm spacers.

 

5 lugs on a S14 is cheaper then S13.

Just buy the SE hubs and you'd be set.

..since you're doing the 300zx brakes, might as well make it 5 lugs.

You'll hate it when you can't find decent rims for the 4 lugs.

I got my 5lugs hubs + S14 K's Brakes (300zx) for merely $300....

that's cheap..

 

if you're doing z brakes it's a given to go 5 lug

 

true, true that's why i'm all for switchin to 5-lug, there's a sorry selection for 4-lug rims (like 15x7 fwd junk)

 

so you bumped a 4 month old thread to tell us you are planning to get 5 lug sometime in the future?

 

lol, 5 lug = more weight
pimp rims can be had in 4x144.3, see custom volk, work, j-line

I figured instead of paying money for a conversion to use that to get better wheels. Would I like to be 5-lug yes, but I would probably just buy more rims and get into trouble.

 

oh, good point, yea im a wheel ***** as well.............or i would be if i had more money haha.

 

but phreze drives an S13..

it's looks OK to ruck 16 or even 15's on S13.

but a 4 lug S14 is tehsux.

 

yeah but I dont run 15 or 16 inch rims, and you know this man!

But there is no reason not to do it if you have an s14

 

ahahah that's right mr. XD-9 or was it the other one.

your lucky they rock those in 4 lugs with godly setups..

BALLER.

 

yeah when i saw rota p45f's in 5 lug i had to get a 5 lug conversion they're like 550 on ebay and the wheels are 800 in change. but i agree that s13's do look good in 15's i didn't want to rag on 15's but on s14's they look kinda fruity (especially with the wrong offset and stock ride height lol)
