Lug 5x114.3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JayBoii · 12-13-2014, 04:15 AM

Around how much would i have to spend to convert my lug patterns to 5x114.3.? Also i've heard of spacers that could be able to convert to 5x114.3 any input on how safe these would be?

You will be better off buying hubcentric spacers. Trust me, I've looked into it and it's your best bet.

How safe would that be and how much would they run me? Care to explain more about this because i really dont know much about it?

IMO I would just save up for a good 5x100 wheel setup. But As long as they are hubcentric you'll be fine. It's when you start going with the crazy offsets that put unwanted stress on the wheel bearings. I know a few people that have had wheel spacers for quite some time and their fine. Again, not my cup of tea but what are you looking to do? Why do you want the conversion?

Well my brother has couple wheels that i am interested in running but his lug pattern is different 5x114.3 (evo x) stock bbs wheels 18x8.5 +38 and varrstoen es1 18x10.5 +30, likely to run the varrstoens. I want to be able to swap wheels with him rather than buying new wheel set ups with different lug patterns.

Ahhhh gotcha. Well if it's just for show, go with the spacer. They'll run you 200-300 for a good set.

Well i am going the run these wheels for daily, would it be a major problem?

You'll be fine. Just remember you pay for what you get. So my 2cent would be to spend it on top of the line spacers, none of the ebay stuff. Especially if your going to run them for the life of the vehicle.

They make a hub conversion kit it's $750. Requires different brakes and rotors or redrilling the rotors.
