It says their are other products like this, just wondering how safe it would be for road racing or drift.......http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RARE-...=p4506.c0.m245

 

the whole reason of doing 5 lug is to get a better range of wheels with better offsets and/or bigger brakes. when you stay 4 lug you need to usually put a big spacer to make the wheels flush.

so if you get that 4 to 5 lug converter your going to have spaced 5 lug hubs and that'll mean you'll need to order wheels with an offset to bring them back under the fender so that will mean no big lips unless you want a mad tyte baller offset where you need wide fenders.

on the safety note, ive heard bolt on spacers are dangerous but personally when i ran a 10mm spacer with extended lugs i had no problems

 

A good rule of thumb is....if you have any doubts, don't do it. I wouldn't trust them under alot of stress.

 

honda offsets on a RWD car with spacers that will eat your wheel bearings... Good luck with that.

 

True, and now that I'm done most of the engineering for the 4x114.3 big brakes. other then wheel choice it's a waste of $$..

PS. my 4x114.3 brembo's are for sale. $500 complete, or for $720 you can buy the new custom kit. it's a no brainer to me. no need to upgrade and buy new wheels just to get big brakes.

 

Good Rule of thumb anything from E-Bay = Crap

Dont cheap out on Hubs, if those things fail while drifting you'll end up in a wall or in a ditch.

Buy either OEM or Ichiba

 

Adapters are straight! Just put them on, and then drive around for a day. And then
tighten them again and everything is fine. People use spacers all the time......same concept.......

 

Pics or ban.

 

I suck I don't have a camera. (one on my phone but it sux) but anyone that knows my car knows these.


The new kit uses The same rotor deminsions as the Brembo,
but subistutes these calipers

Forged Billet 4 piston's and the Piston diameters have been Reverse engineered from the Brembos so clamping force is identical to the factory brembos Which are also used on the 350Z but when I called the dealer and they said they wanted $600/caliper for the brembos I assured myself I could do better for less.

and using the clamping forces on par with the Brembo kit it should not require a long time tuning.

I still need to test fit them on an S13 but in all reality they should bolt right on. since all the Nissans share the same brake bracket dimensions.

 

That would never fit behind my wheels.
