if goin 5 stud , go for gtr brakes , more stoppin power... also better choice of wheels...

[gem-s13]

the benifitas are zero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only thing that you need to change is your front brakes get rid of the small calipers and get a set of s14(crap) or skyline(way better) 4pot calipers and discs they can be redrilled to slid on to your 4 stud hub and its just bolt on then! job done

a few years ago people did it for wheel choice but now there is as many nce poor stud wheels as there is 5

u will be a lifestyler like all the other people that do it

[Prodrifter86]

think its getting rims maybe is that bit easier......

[insejn]

its situations that when you're pushed into doing it because you need to, not do it because it because you seen it done
spend your money on better things

[paulr5]

No benifits imo, Gem speekith the truth end of story,
Mark keane ha ha TRUTH!!!

[andy t]

rock out with your 4stud out... you will be fine !

[bwreilly]

deadly i wont bother so,spend money on better things,wheel choice doesn bother me at all:cool:

Don't people just get 5 stud conversions if they fancy a set of wheels that are 5 stud? :confused:

[Shane_s]

for the price of getting them these days surely it would be worth it for bolt on brake upgrades, and yes i know you can get discs redrilled but for the sake of a bit of work just make things easier

plus in fairness there are alot of nicer wheels in 5x114.3, not that they cant be gotten in 4 stud!!

not always , skyline brakes are much better than the standard shite 180 or s14 brakes......

i think there is much better choice in five stud wheels , some say there not , but i havent seen sets off hugh dished 18x10 works or rays wheels floating around too often , if ever ...

yeah i agree with both of what you said there

180 brakes are shite but thats if you change the hub AND the brakes, just the hubs is no difference.

And it is harder to find nice four stud wheels. Alot of them are "fwd spec".

[Prodrifter86]

^^^ yes 4 stud rims are harder to findish. but there cheaper cuz no1 wants them as much as 5stud

[Daly]

Told ya not to bother :)

save the money for tyres and petrol lad get out and have your fun in her!!

[aka pete]

Mine's 4 stud - slightly harder to get wheels but can be got and as somebody said there - often cheaper cos everybody wants 5 stud - wudda luv'd to get driftworx geomasters but only available for 5 stud which is a bummer and also they cost a mint but look the nuts, i'll havta go for custum made hubs..

[SUPER 180]

i dont think 4 stud is cheaper, all you ever hear is Ooo lovely wheels laad

if only they were 4 stud :rolleyes:

[BrevGTV]

less chance of a wheel to fall off:p
