5-Lug

Post by playaa »

How hard would it be to swap my MX-3 to 5 lug pattern? I want some ADR Sokudo 10's but they only come in 5 Lug pattern... How much time/money and effort would it be to swap over? Need to know soon thanks..

From what I hear you have to get the whole suspension front and back from a 323? I am not 100% sure on which car but its more trouble then its worth. Just find rims that look similar.

All 323's are 4 lug aint they? Considering 323's are built on the same chassis as the MX, and I don't think even the AWD turbo had more hp than a GS. I did some minimal research on swapping to a 5-lug and it seemed possible without spending excessive amounts of money, although I did it for performance reasons. Mainly being getting certain, used, OEM, lightweight rims (put stock on other cars), were 5 lug. If I were after aftermarkets, I wouldn't go to the trouble. There's like 9 zillion aftermarket rims out there, like he said, just find a different manufacturer that makes a 4 lug. Also - any idea on the offset, if they will even fit in that respect?

323 gtr = 5 lug

but why would you want 5 lug? It makes absolutely no sense to go through all the trouble just so you can fit 5 lug wheels.

Actually I was thinking it would be pretty unique to pimp-out an MX3 with a little set of spoked-potatoe peelers and some white walls, maybe a custom Barrittz-style spare glassed into the hatch and a set of air bags to hold it up.

(joking, but it would be different...Nachos vs. Rice).
