4 to 5 lug conversion

Post by EggyRollz »

Searched and didnt see anything related.

Can I swap out the mx-6 suspension components to give myself a 5 lug conversion on my mx-3 ?

If so , is there any benefit for converting my GS to a 5 lug ?

If not , What other donor vehicles have compatible 5 lug hardware if any ?

You did not search hard enough young grasshopper. Try again. The info is there. "5 lug conversion" gave me the info you seek on the cars with 5 lug hubs.

To answer your second question: There isn't really a benefit that I know of other than having different rim choices.

I only searched "5 lug" and got mostly rim sized info. :freak:

In summry of the above posts it looks like they were using 2000-2004 mpv fronts and 2002 protige 5 rears for the 5lug conversion. My question is will this transfer over to our cars???
