5 Stud On a Sprinter

[black86]

Has anyone changed there sprinter to a 5 stud. And how would do it.

[chapl]

f*** thats h0t!

anyway you can buy a bolt on item that bolts to your original 4 stud with 5 studs. ill find a pic

[snake666]

Or the expensive way:

You could use s14 hubs as per the Toymods article for s13 suspension in the ae86 and use a 5 stud hilux diff.

VN/VP commodore rotors fit the RA40 stub axle, if you want to convert to RA40 struts, but the RA40 struts will have adverse effects on front-end geometry (the details of this i am not totally informed of, but it is apparently a bad thing... can anybody elaborate?)

The other problem is the commodore rotors are very heavy... the weight could be worked around by using billet hubs made for converting VN/VP commodores to VT brakes (they use a rotor hat over the hub), but you're still stuck with the RA40 struts.

A caliper bracket would also be required for either of these combinations. And then you need to match a diff. All $$$...

care to explain why u want 5 stud?

[mc68]

yes, as dave said, why?

[DRFTAE86]

The 86 in the pic is a 4 stud?

If u wanna knwo about a 86 with a 5 stud convertion look up the post about the raceflo car on ns.com

I want to put some hot silvia wheels on it.

i heard that silvia offsets are not suited to sprinters. correct me if im wrong.

also they are 4 stud anyway. well the older ones are. unless its a new one.

my rims r silvia ones, it just means the offset is ... well off, so they sit closer in *(in lamens terms)*

i have seen some pics of hachis running r32 GTR rims... hmmmm looks sweet! also had a SR20 motor

Wait I dont get want you want because silvia's are 4 stud, only the 200sx and S15 are 5 stud. And the offset on a silvia wheels are around 35+ to 40+ you need something like 15+ and below to fill out the guards

all da hetik dwiftaz do da 5 studz y0

[chapl]

hahaha^

if you're getting engineering for a big-power conversion, an engineer is always going to prefer a 5-stud setup.
