Looking into getting my boyfriend a 5 lug swap for his 87 rx7 for his birthday. Not my car so I don't know much about it , so please any help would be amazing.

Im looking at a full subframe off the same year but a 5 lug. but it is missing rear calipers and rotors.


Would his 4 lug calipers and rotors work for the 5 lug set? Or would I need to buy him some new ones that are for the 5 lug?


Also anything else I that I need to know about what I might need to change would be amazing <3


Thank You Very Much!!




Oh and yes, I know I don't need the whole subframe but it comes with good suspention and his is basically shot.

This thread sums it up fairly well: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/do-i-have-all-parts-i-need-5-lug-swap-453739/. The 4-lug cars used smaller diameter brake rotors, so the brake calipers mounted differently. The rear rotors on a 4-lug car are also not vented, so they're thinner.

yes u would def need to buy 5 lug calipers set for the subframe that does change.
