ToplessZ Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Hey guys I want to swap in the 300zx front 5 lug hubs and I need to know if this will affect any of the brake Geometry . I was to upgrade the brakes to wilwood units that are 4 lug can I just redrill the hats for 5 lug and go or will there be an offeset of the caliper needed. I dont think so I just wanted to make sure. If not guess my other z will be getting wilwoods just got a great deal on the jsk setup 143.00 shipped. Woohoo I need to know right away though so I can buy the 5 lug hubs someone is holding for me. I also need to know about the dust seals. I was reading that they are the wrong ones so what do you do to fix that problem. Thanks for all your help guys.

Guest Looking for apt in Alb Ny Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hi Jared I am sure the 300zx hub sits .75 inch further out. I saw a picture here on hybridz a while back. In a sense the hat would need to be much larger. I plan on doing a 5 lug hat setup but I can't seem to get anyone to donate one for a month or so. I will assume that you want the hats in black because I did ask what color. HAHA please black. The red blue are expensive to anodize. Enjoy your day and great catch on eBay on my special introduction. Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cowboy6280 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 what year 300z 5 lug hubs work for the swap? Juan - I have a pair that I may be willing to work with you on? If I remember right I believe the pair I have is from a '86. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Looking for apt in Alb Ny Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I already have someone sending me a Hub. Thats great info thanks for linking that up for me. I heard it sits more wide. I just do not want to attempt making 5 lug hats and not confirming it with the real hub at hand. Thanks Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 does anyone know for sure that the 300zx rotor and hub assembly will allow for a +30 or so offset wheel to mount in the front??? is the amount the hub sits out different from 4-5 lug years?
