s'ko Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 So I have some pretty sweet plans for the RX, but I don't want to be stuck w/using 4x140 wheels. I know that some people have re-drilled their hubs to a 6 lug set up and I know there is a RX that was re-drilled for 4X100. i am leaning more towards 4X100 b/c there are more sportier wheels available and b/c this is not going to be an offroader. From what I see 6X140 is mostly for trucks. Thoughts, comments, suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse001 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I had the hubs on my '86 XT redrilled to 4-100mm. Then bolted on some Fitti Twist 5 spoke rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim5551212 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 you could still look for some Peugeot rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 just do the 5 lug conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 5 lugs is an option, but w/xt6's being harder to find, i am looking at other options. BW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 just do the 5 lug conversion agreed....and wheel selection would be the last on a list of reasons why (better brakes, suspension, axles, etc. etc. etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 As long a we are talking about redrilling hubs, why not just drill them to 5 lug? Balnce issue is the only thing I can think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 http://www.crossbredperformance.com/index.html have started up again under new ownership. Price is around $1200AUD a kit. Then you just need all the brakes and front knuckles plus suspension from an EJ with 4 wheel discs. I have seen a couple of nice street rims for 6stud. But you'll get a much better selection in 4x100. Just depends on how much you want to spend. I don't think its cheap to get the hubs drilled in a totaly new pattern. But you never know I guess. Some how I reckon it would be easier to drill them in a 4x114.3 (nissan old 4 lug and a few others.) It would just leave some more room for the process. Just might be an option anyhow.

crazyhorse001 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I had mine done at a machine shop. It cost me $15/hub, or $60. That was pressing out the old studs & pressing in the new ones as well. I took in just the "hats". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balnce issue is the only thing I can think of holy crap, you're a genius!! indeed. while we're discussing modifying stock hubs. have just the rears modified for 5x100. and then ream out the ball joint holes....and then you're set for 5-lug using zero XT6 parts. sure, you don't get the larger '6 rear brakes, but you can put whatever your heart desires on the front. and better suspension too!

crazyhorse001 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 $40/hub isn't too bad, I should have mentioned that this was back in '93, and the machinist was a buddy of mine. (still is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
