i been debating on this swap for awhile now. i have a set of wheels that i want for my 4 lug but i got a set of s14 se wheels also i wanna have on the car. problem is they dont make that other wheel in 5 lug. i want the better braking power but wanna stay 4 lug. i dont wanna have other discs drilled does anyone know of a bigger brake setup with out goin 5 or drilling???i know i could always sell them 4 lug wheels later on if i wanted . hmm help? also does anyone thing 240sx discussion needs its on thread ??

Were you just bored? your a member of 240sxforums.com and I told you that they sell rotors for the z32 brakes that are drilled for 4 lug already. If you really are just wanting the upgraded breaking go with ebc slotted and dempled brakes with ebc green stuff pads. Remember the brake setup I had on my first s13? It was exactly that and it had mad stoppin power and never once did I experience brake fade with that setup.
The extra streinght of being 5 lug over 4 lug really isnt the reason to do the conversion either, the 4 lug will be plenty strong, especially for your use.
The real reason to do the 5 lug was more so in the past, when it was nearly impossible to get good wheel fitments in 4 lug, or well, at least the selection was more limited. The set of wheels your wanting are a great example of good fitment 4 lug wheels, the only problem is you only being able to find 1 set of them.....
It would actually kick ass if you were able to find 2 sets and buy both sets.

The s14 wheels may look good but honestly they arent wide and dont have the best offsets in the world. I wouldnt spend money on the car just in order to make them fit because for the same money you can have better looking better fitting 4 lug wheels.

Plus I found a place that carries them bad ass fender flairs so you can drop the shit out of your car and cut the fenders out just a little and have the flairs cover the 8" 0 offset wheels.

i am pretty sure i will have those rims by this time next week. fun fun. but yes if the car is gunna have a nice power house i and gunna need to stop just as good. i was reading the article in moddified about thier track G35. how it picked up almost 3 seconds with a upgraded brake system. did u get those calipers from from ole boy??

Im 4 lug with z32 TT brakes. What 4 luggers are you lookin at? I'm in the market myself, lookin for good wheel ideas. I'm on 5zigen typhoons right now, but im not the biggest fan of em.

Nah it was a good deal but I didnt want to drive that far to possible have to sit on them until I got another buyer. We need to get out in the country in my daily and have you slam on the breaks to see if you like the brakes on it. I have never had these fade on me either but I dont quite push this car like I did my first one.

yea i was wondering the same thing. cause i dont want to do a 5 lug i dont see the point in it. but with me tryin to get back into drifting with this car i need braking power. so does it matter which year z32 you use? cause my buddy has one he is about to upgrade brakes on it and its a 90 so if i can use those i iwll get them off him.

5 lug is dumb and a waste of time and i regret doing it. it only adds to the time of me changing tires at events.
you can find plenty of wheels in a good fitment for 4 lug.

and a 16x8 +0 shouldn't need fender flares....

just camber.

Altima brakes are bigger and 4 lug. A couple other nissans use 2 piston calipars and are 4 lug. But just redrill the 5lug rotors to 4lug. its not unsafe aslong as you spread them out. And plus you will love the way z brakes fill. I have z brakes on my car, its 4lug. locking the fronts up at 40mph= bad ass.

 

[SleeperEK]

u run a 16x8 with zero offset?

 

[seNATEr]

i will have xxr 16x8 next week.

 

[90kacoupe]

yea i almost regret going 5 lug.. except when im messing with my mustang friends and talking shit cause my nissan had more lugnuts then there fox body.. lol but yea its kinda pointless to me.. if ur into oldschool shit then stay 4 lug.. if ur in to kitted baller shit.. go 5 lug.

Need, no. Ive seen it done with out them, At the same time I think you could pull it off with them still. Josh has 15x8+0 right? The way he is dropped I think he could pull it off. Should be basicially the same with the setup nate has.

i will have xxr 16x8 next week.

Did your mom decide to get you an early present??

 

[aye bee]

if ur in to kitted baller shit.. go 5 lug.

i'm into kitted baller shit.

 

[T3AM SPOTLIT3]

[T3AM SPOTLIT3]
