    Default Converting MZ20 to 4 stud

    Hey lads,

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

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

    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?

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

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

    Probably an option.

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