has anyone ever put 5 lug hubs on a 95 4 lug car? besides the rotors & drums is anything else different? or am i gonna have to swap the whole spindle over
i know theyre different from 13" to 14" wheels on the 4 lugs, mine originally is a 14" wheel

 

Why? Just curious. I haven't performed the swap but on the front you have to replace the spindles alsof. On the rear just change out the bearings with the studs and the brake drum.

 

actually for the front you only have to just change the hub......buy a new hub assembly and swap it out

 

Are you sure about that??

 

i have 3 cars worth of parts, im just thinkin of swappin stuff around so i can put the stock aluminum wheels from the 96 sport on my 95
i was thinking cars that came with 13" wheels had a smaller rotor, but the 14" 4 lug, and the 5lugs were the same size, so the spindle can stay,. i like to get other opinions sometimes before i start tearin **** apart & have to put it all back together and get nothing accomplished
its lowered, not a half bad lookin car, im just too cheap to buy fancy G wheels when i have decent lookin aluminum wheels here

 

oh im sure......just the hub.....thats all....front and back
i have a few 5 lug hubs lying around in the garage.....no spindle or wheel bearings...just the hub....you can take it to a machine shop(or anywhere with a press) and have the old hub pushed out of the spindle and the new one pressed in.....

 

i have every tool imagineable at my disposal i can do anything, lol
i been so busy on the race car all summer i havent had time to do anything to the one i drive, this winter i have to rebuild the engine in my truck, it burns 2 quarts of oil for every tank of gas, leaves oil all over my car trailer and down one side of the race car, time to fix that, lol

 

anyway i might swap some parts out this weekend, ill let ya know what i find, the spare rear hubs i have came from a car without ABS, so they dont have the splines on them for the pickup, but the ABS doesnt work anyway and i hate that ****, i pulled the fuse and the light, ABS is for people who get scared & just hold the brakes when something happens & its almost made me crash a few times cuz it ****s me when ive set the car sideways on the road and the damn brakes let go at the wrong time
i guess i need to keep the crazy driving on the race track

 

bringing this back up for a note, the 5 lug rotors are bigger diameter than either of the 4 lugs, so you have to change the front spindles and calipers

 

hmmmm.... i figured they would be the same size....but then again, ive only ever owned 1-4 lug neon....the other dozen have all been 5 lug
