Megan Racing's 5x100 Hub Conversion to 5x114.3 - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Yes it would work on the front with 2015 wrx brakes. You need the calipers too, they use 316mm rotors that are also found on the 05+ Legacy GT and tribeca. The tribeca was 5x114.3 also.

There is a 5x114 stock sized front rotor that fits over the bigger hubs, but you need 4-pot calipers to use it, because the hat is bigger to clear the hub, and will interfere with the caliper bracket. More expensive than the LGT brakes probably but pretty reasonable.

The rear end gets more complicated, easiest way would be redrilling the stock rotor. The 2015 wrx uses 286x10mm non vented rotors. I think all the brz/frs get 290x18?

So did anyone actually go for these?

I'm running 2005 STi rotors up front and 2008+ STi rear rotors.

So you used the Megan Racing hubs or converted from the STi?

Late to the party but all the laughs about people not trusting them because they are "megan racing" parts. You know megan racing does not make any of their own parts they are just a brand right....

The brake rotor has the same bolt pattern as the hub. so when you get the hubs, you need new brakes too. I assume has the megan hubs and is using sti brake rotors.

No, Im running a Japanese company hub up front with the ATS brembo caliper and 2008 STi hub in the rear with 2004+STi brembo caliper.

Thank you for the information and clarification. If I remember correctly, HardRace made some adaptors too. What "Japanese Company" made the hubs you are using? Care to share any feedback on pro's & cons of the setup?

jamal · 01-31-2018, 05:01 PM

I still don't see much benefit to these. With other subarus, the 5x114 hubs and bearings are bigger and stronger. These appear to only change bolt pattern. So I guess it helps with wheel choice but that's it. If there's a set of wheels you can't live without that only come in 5x114 you might as well just use a bolt on adapter.

Crap, let me look through my old stuff to find the name of the company. I I only found out about this company because of a buddy of mine told me. The only benefit was shock factor, Wheel options, and putting in STi/ATS swap without any problem. Been running them for 2 years without any problems.

And have to compensate for the additional material that the adapter adds? Sometimes the specs of the wheels change the appearance.

The only real downside I see to this is just simply cost. You'll have a much wider selection of wheels after the conversion is complete.

Has anyone looked at whether Lexus IS hubs interchange?

Did you ever manage to find out the name?

No, I couldn't find out their name, but Power by max made some 5x114 front hubs which cost way less than what I paid for mine.
