And it goes on (I should probably combine all his 5-lug swap threads.)

Unless you're a mad-man machinist / mechanical engineer like Frank, with money to blow, and will be taking the car to the track almost daily, it's not worth it.

 

modern-motorsports does it in kit form. i think there is a adapters for the diff parts. might wanna check. hes slow on email sometimes, his g-pa just died.

 

There is also adapters that go from 4 to 5 lug.

 

Oh yeah... adapters would be the easier way (I forgot about that). But don't expect to push those on a track or auto-x unless you like to put A LOT of stress on your lugs / wheel studs.

 

thanks for the help. Wheres a good place to find those adapters?

 

just use google for 4x114 to 5x(what ever size your looking for) adapters and something will come up. lots of places make wheel adapters

 

just dont go cheap on the adapters

 

Does anyone know the lug pattern on the turbo 300zx?

 

So I read those post but they didn't say much but one guy did it with no problems and the over had problems. Not alot of help.

 

First Google result for "Z31 lug pattern"
