Any news on 5x114.3 front hubs for BRZ/FRS yet? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

No Limit Motorsport · 10-24-2012, 04:57 PM

I wonder if these would work

No, and those are for people using sti bearings and uprights that want to keep 5x100. The front brz uprights are completely different and sti or tribeca hubs don't bolt in. The only way to do it would be to make a custom upright. The rear sti hub and bearing might work. Someone just has to go try it.

Doing it just for the bolt pattern is pointless. The reason to upgrade on a wrx is for the stronger bearings, and unless people start blowing them out after a couple track days no one's going to bother with a conversion.

Damn your right. I thought it was machined down 5x114 hubs to fit 5x100.

Every Mackin dealer has those spacers but as pointed out they ruin the ability to run decent offset wheels. A few months ago they talked about 10mm conversion spacers but they have not been released as of yet.

Nissan spec wheels won't work out, but might make use of toyota spec wheels, ie: anything +40ish would then become a fuller offset for the new 86..

I have some works VSKF in 114.3 I picked up for nix that are +38 and +42, so it might be ok...

even running a 15mm conversion would leave you with almost 10mm of stock stud... most wheels, cheap wheels anyway, wont allow it without a back pad that has enough room recessed to allow that much stud sticking out.

just order correct sized 5x100 wheels.

Some of us already have 5x114 wheels from other cars. Currently two of my cars use 5x114 bolt pattern, but I also have two with 5x100 and two with 4x100.

Dont forget about your brake rotors...or finding some that will work with the FRS/BRZ brakes and a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

That's not a problem. Front group n Subaru rotors and rears can just be re-drilled.

chulooz · 10-24-2012, 08:42 PM

5x114.3 conversions will continue to be an unrealistic dream for this car.

xwd · 10-24-2012, 08:43 PM

Yeah, I'd just look at selling the wheels you have. And due to the popularity of the car there will be a gazillion 5x100 wheels out for the car in no time.

Custom uprights = $$$$

jadewbj · 10-25-2012, 09:09 AM

Yeah, I think you all would be better off selling your old rims and buying a set of the tons of 5x100 rims out and coming out.

Other than the bolt pattern there is no benefit to the hub switch so it is really only for people who have an old set of rims they are not willing to sell, not a large market.

It's a problem if you're at the track and crack a rotor and don't have a spare or access to a drill
