rx3 5 lug swap?
rx3 5 lug swap?
Hello all,
Ok first off I just want to say sorry in advance, I have a bad habit of posting stupid questions, but only because I cannot find the answers in which I seek.
now with that aside, is it possible to swap the front spindle/hub assembly out for a 5x114 bolt pattern (FC/FD, toyota...) or will it be more of a full custom fabrication type of deal?
I had read somewhere that the gsl struts and hub assy. will bolt into the rx3 with minor fitment modifications, so I am shooting in the dark here wondering if maybe anyone has Frankenstein'd a set up from other vehicles or anything with the 5x114 pattern.
my main goal is to get rid of the 4x110 bolt pattern in the front end. My rear axle is out of a hilux pickup with the 5x114 pattern and really don't want 2 differnt rims on the same car.
Im not overlooking a 6 lug 6x139 (6x5.5") conversion either as i just have to get the 4wd axles for the hilux rear end that are 6 lug 6x139 just sayin...
thank you all for baring with me and the face palm questions
any and all input is appreciated

The FC and FD use A arms so their not a good match. The FB (1984/1985) front spindles will work though. Now to get the 5 lug, you can use a Big Brake Kit that allows the FB (1984/1985) front spindles to use a FC 4 piston caliper/hub/rotor.
I make a conversion for this. PM if interested.

I already responded to a similar question on another thread in this section. You might get a better idea what is involved if you look at my original swap which is shown on the V8 powered RX-7 here:
