Converting MZ20 to 4 stud

[gx71_chaser]

Hey lads,

What parts could be used in converting a Z20 series Soarer to 4 stud without detrimentaly impacting on the cars braking ability?

[mrshin]

Might I please be the first one to ask 'why'??

[chrisrundell69]

Also very interested

[Norbie]

I'd like to know as well, this is the first time I've heard of someone wanting to downgrade to 4-stud?

[gianttomato]

Why stop at 4? Can I suggest the Peugeot 3 stud?

I suspect because the Tempe Royal Blitza 22" wheels he wants that are on ebay are 4 stud. Let's just say that any savings you might make by buying a cheap set of wheels will very likely be negated by the cost of reverse engineering to 4 stud.

The Citroen 2CV was also 3 stud - highly recommended.

Any takers for knock off spindles commonly found pre-1965?

LOL! Now you're just being silly.

Coffee, that guy looks like he's done a good deed.

[mrshin]

You people suck. 26" and one stud... Wire spoke!



(Why resize when it will clearly undermine my manhood?)

[gx71_chaser]

lol.. cheap 20+ inch is tempting, but the reasoning is actually access to 15in SSR wheels in nice widths with neg offsets.

You could just re drill them to 5 stud

[MR 1JZ]

you are too stupid for the internet

please come back when you have more powers of the brains

[LeeRoy]

Probably an option.

The mentality of redrilling wheels is well on par with a 4 stud downgrade.

[Huz]

Sory, Its not something that I would do but It would be better than going 4 stud

some really nice 15x7.5 and 8.5 5 studs here

[ill-minded]

agreed. there are plenty of nice 5 stud wheels on yahoo japan, just gotta know how to find em

also, been to auszoku before? (if you're not already on there)

[gx71_chaser]

ohs noes, no reputation so I must be intellectually defunct and not worthy of help in the tech and conversions section...

Re-drilling looks gay, and isn't possible with some of the wheels I have in mind.

SSR produced 5 stud MK1's but they are few and far between. Considered hanging out for some cheap ones and have them widened.... ill minded yeah its D-limo off auszoku. A phat set of MkII's is what I would really love

S13 brakes and hubs for the front???

[LeeRoy]

Just deal with the fact that the wheels you would ideally like to have are not available in 5 stud. Its not that big of a deal really. Then once youve overcome your fear of odd numbers just go out and buy some nice 5 stud wheels - of which there is no shortage since you can pick and choose from s14's, Skylines, and a plethora of other vehicles.

If you really want those wheels then buy a car with 4 stud hubs. Alternatively, buy a Citroen or Peugot and upgrade the hubs from 3 to 4 stud.

[Julz01]

yea you would be able to just convert to s13 front end setup, as for the rear not to sure what sort of setup does the mz20 have is it a diff or live axle?
