4-bolt to 5-bolt conversion!!

Hey guys! I was wondering if that is possible and if so where I can get this? for how much etc...

Can you help me out, I wanna get some 91na wheels but they are the 5bolt pattern, mines an 86na with the 4bolt pattern (it sucks!)

Thanks a bunch!!

You need the hub, brake calipers/rotors and associated brackets. If I remember correctly, that's all you need. Simple remove the old, and install the new. Obviously, now would be a good time to service and repack the bearings, and give the brakes a good checkout.

The fronts are really straight forward. You need to go to a junk yard and buy a complete 5-lug front hub assembly, with rotors and brakes. Just remove and replace the 4-lug hub with the new 5-lug one. You need to get the rear as well. The rear hubs are going to be a pain though, because you need a hydraulic press to get the old 4 lug disc plate out of the toe control hub. In doing so you will most likely damage the rear beaings, so you will need new bearings. If you can get the whole toe control hub w/brake rotor, etc, its easier. You can just remove your whole 4-lug hub assembly and swap. Heres a pic that puts a picture to what im describing.




All in all, its not too bad of a job. Many people have done it before. Good luck. Let me know if you have any Q's.
