ljohnston Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 :cool: I have come to my wits end trying to find 14" wheels for my 86 brat. Has any one tried swaping out the hubs and drums from a later model 5 bolt to a Brat? If so what years and models will fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 there are a couple sets of 14 inch pugeot wheels in the marketplace, they will bolt right on your brat. other than that, i think drilling 6 lug wheels would be easier than the 5 lug swap. when doing 6 lug wheels, like the ones you would see on a toyota, nissan, or chevy pickup, all you have to do is pop out 2 of the studs on your subaru 4 lug bolting plates, then bolt that plate to your 6 lug wheel, the 2 studs will line up with 2 holes on the 6 lug wheel. then take a drill press or hand drill, with a bit the size of your bolting plate holes, and use those holes as a pattern. then reinstall the 2 studs, but the bolting plates back on the soob, and bolt on your new 6 lug 14, 15, or 16 inch rims:D i have heard very good things about this swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 to convert to a 5 lug you will need to find an XT6 you can take all of the front and rear suspension from. i too think it is easyer to drill to 6 lug. scott at http://www.sjrlift.com/ can help with the 6 lug hubs. -=Suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
