z ya Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I am thinking about going to the 5 lug set up. Does anyone sell 280z stubs drilled and ready to go? I dont need the big brakes just looking for the bolt pattern. I figure for the front i will do the 300zx swap but trying to figure out the rear first. Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I've talked to Ross a number of times regarding his spacers/adapters and I have to admit, he is a cool guy who knows his stuff. Modern Motorsports This is a pic from his website. HTH. I have done some business with him already, and I can vouch that he is a good guy to deal with.

Thanks Ron I don't know of anybody selling the stubs already drilled, but any competent machine shop should be able to do it for you for a reasonable price. It just involves pressing out the old lugs, drilling new holes, and then pressing in new studs. It is important that the lugs end up in a perfect 4.5" circle so that the wheel is perfectly centered to prevent vibration. Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene_w Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Just a note for your front conversion. If you plan to use the 300ZX hubs on the front, the mounting surface for the wheels move outward and you will end up needing a different offset wheel than stock. To make the back wheel offset match the front, you will need to use longer than normal studs on the back and use a spacer to even it up with the front.
