I have ichiba 5 lug hubs on my s13. the front hubs are giving me issues but i do not believe ichiba made improper hubs I believe other factors caused the issues with my front hubs.
the rear hubs are fine as far as i can tell. The msrp is $300 for the front hubs and another $300 for the rear. You get new hubs with new wheel studs and new wheel bearings. It's a pretty good price.
I think you should give them a shot. Since the aftermarket bearings may not be like oem. I do not recommend hitting them with an air gun. I would torque them down to the proper amount with a torque wrench.
The 4 lug rotors can be re drilled safely to the 5 lug pattern. Just take it to a competent machine shop.
