I know this a redundant question, but I want to make sure before buying anything.

Recently, I brought a S13 hatchback with

Brake
Black powdercoated nissan oem 300zx tt front calipers
Black powdercoated nissan oem 300zx tt rear calipers
350z track version brake rotor conversion
SPL Braided teflon brake lines

The front wheels are 4-lug and the rear wheels are 5-lug.

Rear wheel pic:

I just want to confirm that if I have to upgrade the front wheels from 4-lug to 5-lug, I just to get Ichiba NS-20010 Front 5 Lug Hub Conversion 89-94 S13 240SX.

And for the front wheels, what is the minimum offset that I need to get for the front wheel with the z32 brake and 350Z rotor? What is the cheapest wheel that fit the front?

I know 17x7 4x114.3 black w/ lip 5Zigen FN01R-C with fit.

Thanks!

the cheapest would probably be z32 rims just to be safe

Yes those hubs are what you would need for the fronts, as for wheels I am not sure

I just found this website:

5 Lug and Z32 Brake Conversion - my240 (http://my240.epijunkie.com/5_Lug_and_Z32_Brake_Conversion)

CZP 300ZX 12.75inch Upgrade Adapter Kit, w/ 350Z Track Rotors - Nissan performance parts (http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=882&Car_Type=300)

It seems like with 350Z rotors, I need 17" rims.

Do you know how hard to degrade the 350Z rotors to z32 rotors?

My situation is I want to drift in a budget. And I have 2 set of 15" S13 OEM rims with tires. My options are:

1) Keep the z32 brakes and 350Z rotors. Sell those 15 rims. Buy 17" rims and tires. This will be the most expensive option.
2) Keep the z32 brakes, but replace the 250Z rotors with z32 rotors. Sell those 15" rims. Buy 16" z32 OEM rims and tires. Some people said 15" S13 OEM rims will fit but the z32 brake will rub the rims.
3) Sell those z32 brakes and 350Z rotors. Buy S13 stock brakes and rotors. Keep 15" rims and tires. This is the least expensive option, but I might regret later.

The best website that I found regarding rims size vs tire size:

Rim / Wheel Width (http://customwheelsmarket.com/rimwheelwidth1.html)

I am trying to find the cheapest 17" tires and 17" rims for drifting. And I think the cheapest tire size is 205/40R17 and rim size is 17"x7".

I just want to confirm the cheapest tires + rims combo will work.

Thanks!

I am still deciding between option 1 and option 3.

What would you guys do?
