from noob to noob: http://www.linuxbench.org/Posting.html

but regarding your post,
though I currently have 4lug, i'd go with 5lug..
alot more wheels to choose from with better sizes.. etc.

[S14DB]

You have much better Wheel and Brake options with 5 lug. 4 lug is cheaper cause you don't have to swap the hubs and rotors.

[TipStylez]

yes, alot more good offset wheels and way bigger brakes for cheaper with 5lug. But i think the nissan 3lug conversion is best.

[ThatGuy]

TipStylez, no need to steer the young man in the wrong direction. The best swap is by far the Nissan Titan 6 lug hubs. :bow:

Go for the dualies that you see on pickup trucks...talk bout grip

[driftsilvias13]

dualies on a 240.. so JDM

[TipStylez]

^Talk about spacers.

5 LUG RULES ALL. Seriously, I'd never go back.

[TougeRacing]

once you go... you never go back.. :p

i remember when you used to be like 5lugs is too expensive and a waste of money. ill just get 4 lug fno1rc. hahaha


oh yea, btw thread starter.. your honda 4 and 5 lug wheels are 4x100 or 5x100 pattern im pretty sure. wont be able to use them on nissans unless you get an adaptor converter thingy

I hope that isn't what he was thinking

and I would never go back to 4 lug either

[Irukandji]

I have 5 lug, it's nice knowing there's a wide choice of wheels to choose from, but that doesn't matter if you don't have the money to buy those wheels to begin with.

You can still get good sizes and offsets in 4 lug (i.e. Grenades, SSRs, or Sportmax) but 5 lug will give you an easier time finding better sizes.

^ yes u all are correct. But WaIt! i got back from China and Japan not too long ago and picked up a Drift Tengoku mag. I found an ad in there from D-Max debuting their new 4/5 lug hub. its just a hub that u can change the studs from 4 or 5 and theyre about the same price as getting a regular 5 lug conversion, wont be out for a while, but if u can get to Japan to get em, luck you...

[!Zar!]

Single lug.

Done.

[1Via!]

5 lug is what you want if you have a 240 just because of the wheel selection, and if youre whiney and dont like having your rotors redrilled-Z brakes.

5 lug on a Honda means you probably have ITR gear... as well as too much money. :ghey:

[keepitmovin]

save money on lug nuts.

[k0i]

the car came with zennetti fives.. i dunno, there alright looking... but yeah, i thought the five lug would be a better choice than the 4.. i mean, who wouldnt want bigger brakes :)

[FRpilot]

what does lug pattern have anything to do with bigger brakes?

[k0i]

actually i forgot to quote you..

.. thats why i put the wheels im using on there.

[waynehead05]

5 lug > i'd never go back to 4 lug.

[O3DigitalBath]

5 lug FTW.

its just easier to find nice wheels.

[fliprayzin240sx]

I heard nissans switching to the new Hovercraft Conversion so fook lugs, you wont even need wheels with those!!!

i thought honda 5 lug was 5x114? like prelude, jdm ctr and itr?
(k just wanted to correct someone haha)

you can already get those hubs here. I decided not to market them. I have access to them. They are actually manufactured in Taiwan under a contract with a local socal company that has a deal with D-MAX to market them in Japan.

[96NiSSanNegro]

5 lug no doubt

[SiI40sx]

damn this fuckin thread got cooked, I can smell the damn smoke coming out of my computer! haha poor kid, at least your answers are somewhere behind the flames, and yes 5 lug mainly for the brakes

[trsilvias13]

on my 97 I have 4 lug pattern on one and 5 lugs pattern on the rest. I think I will go back to 5 one of these days when I have time. Stupid broken stud.
