Upgrading 2 more lugs!

[thafriendlypimp]

So everyone is so crazy about upgrading to 5-lug hubs , right? Well, today when at the mall I noticed something a little odd about a Nissan Xterra it has 6 lugs!!! Talk about strength for not breaking a wheel while drifting. Well, maybe it was custom, but how many of you guys have actually seen these 6 lugs, because it is my first time seeing this. I'm not sure and might consider some of these because i'm a serious "side slider" (my own words). Comments or suggestions?

[jrocslider]

seriously?

side slider?

r u on nico? no really

its an SUV... its a bigger vehicle. like my dads tundra. it has 6 lugs. if it was on a car it would have been a different story

You sir are a homo.

[brndck]

here is my comment. that was one of the stupidest things i've read in a while. the reason people upgrade to 5 lugs is for wider selection of brakes and wheels. the more i re-read your post, the dumber i realize it is. but please, go ahead and try to put fucking truck hubs (and btw an xterra has a solid rear axle so gl with that) on your s-chassis.

[kvahag]

why? :loco:

good luck, tell us how it goes. :keke:

You drift.

You don't need 6 lugs... your wheels will break before your lugs do when you hit a curb "side sliding."

[thafriendlypimp]

how is it dumb? i've seen lugs break off and heard it before... you upgrade to 5 lugs for greater strength... why not try 6lugs? Don't insult open-minded people... i'm not insulting anyone, but i'm making suggestions

[downshift_sideways]

Dude just shut the fuck up already.

[MURPHY]

you upgrade to 5 lugs for greater strength...

o rly? no sorry that's not why.

wheels fool wheels

6 lug lol. stick to 5.

[thafriendlypimp]

you mean to tell me the whole world only considers 5 lugs for their rim selection, it's ridiculous to think that it's purely cosmetic! Why else do all modern vehicles after i believe 2000 now have 5 lugs STOCK?

[projekt_s13]

People dont "upgrade" to 5 lug, its not really an upgrade. Its just so people can use better fitting wheels and larger brakes.

Sell your 240 and go back to your gay sentras.

ITS NOT FOR STRENGTH SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[downshift_sideways]

You are lucky I've given out too much red.

I would love to slap the shit outta you.

kthxbye

[MURPHY]

LOL not all modern cars are 5 lug. you're an idiot, really.

[thafriendlypimp]

people dont "upgrade" to 5 lug,and its not really an upgrade. Its just so people can use better fitting wheels and larger brakes.

Sell your 240 and go back to your gay sentras.
upgrade... conversion.... swap... same shit right? Why you hating on my sentras? I see no reason for this flaming... i apologize to zilvia for the ignorant and stubborn people that do not encourage or who offend people with new ideas...
if people never have crazy ideas new things will not be invented... it's ok people of a lesser IQ than me do not offend me.
But the point was to get feedback about this idea not to encourage insults GET IT!?

[jrocslider]

the only reason you got insults was because it was a

1. a stupid thought

2 a waste of a thread

3. a good laugh for us

if people never had crazy ideas than there wouldnt be pimp my ride and i would thank the lord for that

[The Chad]

^^^ now thats a daily driver^^^ hahah :) What is that a 16 lug?, not going to break a lug drifting that big guy!

[thafriendlypimp]

stupid thought? whatever you think man, i've always gone against the flow of the mainstream... it's all cool i thought maybe i would get a couple of people encouraging it instead of a bunch of flamers! But it's all good don't hate on ideas, you A-holes just move on and don't hate it's easy!

[2fast4y0u]

shit yo my dads chevy HD has 8 lugs....im doing a super conversion so i can sideways slide:mrmeph:

[babowc]

haha
gave me a good chuckle.
dont want to say anything to get pinked again :(

but...
main reason for upgrading to 5lug is for better wheel choices.
6lug and what are you gonna put on the car? lol

[undesiredshoe]

You should try some upside-down sliding. I hear the girls like that. Either way, you'll probably be doing some of that pretty soon anyway.

[jrocslider]

if he goes 6 lug he can always get sum TE37's

or i got a tundra and xterra at home with 6 lug wheels

[LongGrain]

have you ever looked at a truck before?
most are at LEAST 6 lug...

no, people dont upgrade to 5 lug for more power. old fox body guys have ran 4 lugs in 800+hp/tq drag cars, with WIDE slicks without breaking them.

I am not going to sit and watch this pile up.
