5 Stud Conversion on RT142?

**Adash=P** · 28-12-2006, 09:24 PM

I've seen some great wheels that I want but they are 5x114.3. Front brake upgrade will also be made easier if I do this.

I plan on using Sam's technique (S13/Cressida/Celica) with the front but I'm not sure what to do for the rear. I've searched but only front conversions came up.

Any suggestions or ideas greatly appreciated.

mate you will have to talk to a local engineer for something of that model. it would be different if it was something a little more common you will have to talk to him about splines and axle diameters but if you dont want to spend much money this would not be the best optoin i had a quote done for axle resplining and it was 770 dollars. or another option is to see if the wheel company can send blank rims i know some will do it and just get the holes drilled to suit ur stud pattern. it will cost u alot less than it to do it this way

cheers

I forgot to add that it has an IRS rear end.

Crown rear hubs, new bearings, etc. and you're set. It's also easy to fit Nissan rear brakes at the same time.

Here's some photos of my rear 5-stud conversion on the MA61 using MS123 Crown hubs. As mentioned it will be pretty much the same deal with an RT142.
