6 lug conversion questions

Thanks!! I just bought 15 of them (way more than I need, just to be safe).

 

$32 shipped.

I'm assuming I need a Cobalt or a Carbide 14mm drill bit to cut 16 holes into 4 different rotors.

 

Anyone know where I can get one? I've checked everywhere.... even eBay..... can't find anything but just your regular run-of-the-mill drill bits that will likely get chewed up against a rotor.

 

You aren't actually drilling the rotor, but actually the hub that the rotors are bolted to. They are just a mild cast, not hardened, so with cutting oil you should be fine with 2 bits at the most.

Ive used a single HSS 14 mm drill bit on many sets of front hubs and rear drums key is speed and oil

 

22000 rpm and no oil right?

 

 

:banana:

So new question here. These are my wheels I plan on using. (don't worry, i will clean them first)

I am wondering if there will be problems with the thickness of the wheels and the size of the hole as seen here...

currently I have these lugnuts with the chamfered edges ...

and im wondering if i need to try and find toyota style lugnuts that part of them goes inside the wheel before seating like thus...

If it so be that I need to use said toyota style lugnuts, Hopefully I can find some that thread onto my existing studs so i don't have to get all new lugs to match thread pitch :(

You will need to use whatever lugs are supposed to be used on those alloys, using the tapered seat lugs on wheels that need Mag lugs is an absolute NO-NO. Shouldnt the Toyota thread pitch be the same as the Subaru studs? idk, It would just make sense to me, being as how they are both Japanese...

If thread "pitch" is thread type then I would say Toyota and Subaru stud threads might be diffrent.

 

Subaru studs/Lugs are 12x1.25 dunno what Yodas run?

 

Just my $0.02 :)

I 100% guarantee that older toyota pickup lugs have a wider thread pitch than the subarus. subarus use a 12x1.25, and toyotas IIRC are 12x1.00

 

 

but you should be able to find some lug nuts with a "shank" style seat in a 12x1.25 pitch pretty easily.

hi friendly, did you finish this and how does it look? bump

I dunno if ninefourteener got it finished, I did find out that the thread pitch for the toyota these wheels cam from is 12x1.5. So I would either have to get all new studs or I found some the seat properly from autozone. Hopefully I can find some money to get new tires since all I have right now is 15" wheels, no rubber.
