5 stud conversion

[tcylancer]

hmmm. did you weld up the old holes in the hub or consult any engineering authorities about the strengths of the hub.

1. No.
2. Yes.

Cheers.

I'd be interested to know what the engineers said.

Putting holes so close together like that in the hub is a catalyst for fatigue failure... You're essentially creating very large dislocations in the metals atomic structure and then asking it to carry the same load. It really depends how far over engineered the part is, since you're eating into the safety factor: I know for aerospace structures a part will be made to 1.8 x the max load it was designed to carry, and a car would be similar

those wheels look awesome though!

Even dropped 50mm the guards up front are untouched, the rears were rolled.

not all vrx are 5 studs, 2002 is a 4 stud and i hate it cos i cant find any good 4x100's close by. i heard u can buy these spacers that convert ur 4 studs to 5 studs on ebay..anyone have any info or success with that?

Do not recommend that at all, they are often made of cheap materials and compromise the safety of your car. If you want 5stud just do a 5stud swap. Everything bolts up.

If you value your life (and that of other road users) dont even think about it. If you want 5 studs then do a conversion with parts from a wrecker....

EDIT: Riggers beat me to the punch :lol:

Personally i didnt think they were a good idea either which is why i never bought them, however food for the curiosity none the less
