s13 drop knuckles and retain 4 lug? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i know most kits require 5 lug conversions but if I recall correctly I did find a thread where someone retained 4 lug using s14 or abs hubs or something along those lines. Now i tried looking for it but I cant seem to find that thread. Does anyone know what im talking about? or does anyone have a solution to running drop knuckles and maintaining 4 lug? im pretty sure the rears can be done but what about the fronts? any info would help... thanks

4/5 lug hub has nothing to do with drop knuckles. You can run either one.

It does and it doesn't. if the knuckles utilize s-14 sized spindle. Then you need s-14 4 lug hubs. If they utilize s-13 sized spindle, then you use s13 hubs.

S13 spindle is a smaller diameter then s14 spindle
