Rotor Retro??

NM04spec-v · 2008-10-22 10:34:23

Anybody know if it is possible to convert the brembo rotors from 4 lug to five lug. is it possible?? cause i really want to get the b16 rims. and will the rim fit with the brembo's or will there be rubbing issues??

well what 5 lug hub are you using? if you can answer that question then find brembo rotors that fit that year/make/model hub. amirite?

do you have a 4 lug hub or a 5 lug hub on your car now?

nismored · 2008-10-22 10:39:35

If there are only 4 bolts holding your wheel on right now, you need more than rotors to get you to the 5 lug.

there 4 lug.

well you would have to first find a 5 lug hub and swap that out. it is kind of intensive. Some one recently did the conversion on here using older maxima components. you should check that out. IMO it is kind of a lot of work to be able to use 5 lug rims. Everyone has a different opinion though

see the only other thing is will the maxima components work with the brembo calipers?

can i just redrill the rotors and add a lug??

nismored · 2008-10-22 11:03:33

Will the brembo calipers work? I dont know. I would imagine that they would. It is only held on by a bracket. Ive never looked at it so i dont know

You can't drill another hole onto the hub and add a lug because then your ratio would be off. you would have to drill 5 new holes and add 5 new lugs. I dont think that is a very smart idea. What rims do you want that bad that you cant find in 4 lug to fit over the brembos.

well ya thats what i ment drill five new holes. cause there is where i'm getting the idea from http://www.nittotire.com/blog_detail.asp?id=14

in theory you can drill the holes, in reality, you may end up with a whole new set of problems..... it's been done, i have seen it in person, not on a sentra, but on other 4 luggers..... they seem to ride ok

NM04spec-v · 2008-10-22 11:22:19

this is what i want only with brembo's this is on mike kojima nitto (smartbomb) time attack sentra.

NM04spec-v · 2008-10-22 17:07:44

anyone else thought about this??? or has any info on trying to do it??

Have you considered adapters?

nope didn't even know those were made. do you know if they are sturdy enough and safe??

NM04spec-v · 2008-10-24 02:09:37

??? anybody know if those will work or is there a better option??

SPECial Sauce · 2008-10-24 03:23:19

Redrill the hubs, do it EXACTLY like Kojima did... only way it's ever been done iirc.

ya thats most likely what i'm going to do but the only thing is i don't know if all the parts he used are parts you can just buy or are they custom parts you know so i'm kinda stuck in a rut right now.
