5 lug conversion plus brakes '78 Z


Recommended Posts

I have looked through the posts and have looked at a few sites...

 

What I want is to have vented discs all the way around and a bolt pattern that will accept just about any wheels I need. I think its 4 3/4?? not sure about that..

 

The Z is a '78

 

Anyway, are there some sets that are ready to bolt on or with minimal fabrication?

thx guys..

Crue .. a 5 lug 4 3/4 inch bolt wheel pattern is Chevy while a 5 lug 4 1/2 inch is Ford ,Chrysler and most important Nissan. My recent research has shown that 1987-up standard 300 zx Nissan and 1984-up Turbos and 2+2 s have the 4 1/2 inch diameter 5 lug lug pattern. Terry Oxendale ( Blue Oval Z ) has a great website outling this front brake conversion using the 300zx front hubs and rotars with the lighter but strong 280 ZX calipers. The 300zx front rotars and hubs get an asking price of $60.00 at the JYs.The problem with the 4 3/4 Chev pattern is that you do not have the meat or area space to re-drill the Chev 5 lugs properly on the on the early Z rear hubs.The hotsetup is to use the 240 SX rear calipers
