5x114.3 Conversion

Postby mynameisdaniel » Wed Aug 22, 2012 8:31 pm

So, in my hunt for wheels it seems every time I find something I like the offset is wrong, the width is wrong or when it's right, the PCD is wrong! If a 114.3mm conversion is feasible it would make my hunt for rims a lot easier!

Any know exactly what I would need to replace, whether I can get the parts off a 05+ STi or similar and simply bolt them on.. And what sort of cost I would be looking at?

Cheers,
Dan

Hub assemblies, driveshafts (presumably), handbrake assembly, discs, wheels.

Time and effort.

These caught my eye (I wouldn't get gold).
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-ROTA-WHE ... 488wt_1397

Or the real things but with a conversion too that'd be a bit too pricey. Enkeis would then be repainted myself and used as track wheels. :)

Yeah, thought I might give it some consideration as I might get new discs soon anyway...

You "can" get adaptor spacers, do not recomend this option however.

I would be more concerned with his choice of wheels than using an adaptor spacer.

BTW there are some well engineering bolt on PCD conversion kits which also combine a spacer and hub centric rings.

Considering the cost to convert your PCD, I’m sure a custom wheel order wouldn’t be that much more….. All JDM wheel manufactures could easily build to your specification.

Screw adaptors.

05-07 sti front hubs
02-2012 STI rear hubs or just drive spindles
Machine factory control arm bearing carrier to take the larger hub spindle
use 02-08 STI rear drive shafts
Use matching ratio R180 diff and tailshaft from auto liberty 1992-2004

02-07 sti front struts with the strut tops removed and gen4 strut tops put on.

To run some wheels? waste of time, jeebus.
