you could get them but they're normally 15mm wide minimum which would make them ET34, which would be an issue with arches.

Looking at this -



it's not as simple as with some wheels. those 5 triangular holes would need plugging first.

It's been done, but I'm not sure I'd want to risk it :(

What would it cost to have the 5 stud wheels made to 4 stud?

i used 5 stud flanges from chris astlet for mines but you can get them on ebay and from lmf vauxhall, but if i was doling it again id have got the knuckles machined out to suit the bigger bearings so i didnt have to have the modified flanges

As above, either get 5 stud hubs machined down or buy modified 5 stud hubs.

i think its 5 stud front hubs and get them machined down to fit in the bearings

If you have a car which is already converted to use big block conversion shafts and is running 4 stud motorsport hubs, what do you need to convert to 5 stud?

I know how to do the rear (I think), it's the front I'm stumped on as I don't know what needs doing to the front hubs?
