Rear Hubs -advice Please

[88silhouette]

sorry boys

not very computer savvy

couldnt even manage to get the search to help with this

converted front of my hr31 from 4 to 5 stud

rear requires either custom 5 stud hubs from r31house in japan - 900 delivered

or z31 5 stud hubs - rare as rocking horse shit

i know its been asked time and time again

but is redrilling the hub from 4 to 5 stud a bad bad idea?

please note this car will not be a daily driver. it will be mainly used for events ie sprints, h/climbs etc

any advice will be much appreciated. i am already guessing the answer will be just go ahead and buy the good stuff.

cheers, mark

you can't redrill them as they aren't round they are a square shape, you would have to get pieces of metal welded on to the hubs to make them wide enough to conver the hub to a 5 stud pattern, the pic below shows you what i mean the green dots are roughly where the stud bolts would have to go to.

if by some chance you have got round hubs forget all that and redrilling is perfectly fine if done propley.

thanks dude

perhaps if i had taken the wheels off the rear i would have noticed they were square and didnt have enough room to redrill

well that answers everything

mods ya can delete this thread
