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

PhoKingCool · 08-26-2014, 12:00 AM

The ones Megan Racing is no longer for sale because of bad design and they are in the process of coming out with a revision. I do not want to go this route nor spacers. Can someone tell me what other alternatives are there?

You could swap hubs. Seems like a lot of work just for some wheels though.

Swap the hubs from what type of car?

aznatama · 08-26-2014, 12:50 AM

You'll have to research that on your own. I have no idea. Most likely another subie or Toyota.

Doesn't Hardrace have hub conversions as well?

Yup they have those conversion. Got quoted for $350 for just the shipping tho .

Hub conversions are just not worthwhile doing. Your new wheels better be much more expensive than the new hubs...or just find some other wheel that fits.

aznatama · 08-26-2014, 08:08 AM

Screw it, get a centerlock conversion! Forgeline makes them for any car, 2k for all 4.

I thought i heard you could swap a 08+ STi hub, they have 5x114

xwd · 08-26-2014, 01:50 PM

The rears are easy, you can swap the STi stuff. Front...not so easy.

Afaik the Megan stuff was just the Hardrace stuff with Megan etched on it instead of Hardrace, so if the Megan ones were having an issue it's probably found in the Hardrace as well.

Some have had okay luck with the better low-profile conversion spacers from people like Project Kics, but they are going to add at least 11mm of offset.

My vote is find some wheels in 5x100.

People that say "it's not worth it" must not be wheel people lol. Lots of companies started offering more 5x100 wheels more recently, but the amount of selection in 5x114.3 shits all over that. It's definitely worth it if you're planning on swapping wheels frequently, or if you want to sell your wheels to other platforms.

Oh, and OP, I called Megan probably four weeks ago and they said the new shipment of hubs was supposedly coming in right around this time. Realistically this is probably your best bet since you're not only in the states, you're in California. They are located in La Puente, which is probably 45 minutes from you.

Any word from megan about the conversions being re-manufactured? I wreaked my 08 sti a few weeks ago and will be swapping some stuff out. Lots of salvageable parts.
