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?

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

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

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

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

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