5 stud conversion

[JAY69]

hi i own a 1996 calibra 20l 16v does anybody know what parts would i need to convert my 4 stud hubs to 5 stud so i can fit turbo wheels would i need to change discs + calipers thank you

Get some secondhand V6 or turbo front struts with brakes and discs, they will fit straight on (the discs and calipers are different from yours) For the back you need V6 arms as the abs sensors are in the wrong place on the turbos. The discs are the same size on the back but obviously have the wrong number of holes, calipers are the same though. Thats the easiest route anyway

are you saying i could fit turbo calipers and discs to the front of a normal redtop, 4 stud? just by drilling the discs to 4 holes?

Isn't the spiggot 56.6 on the 4 stud and 65 mm on the 5 stud models, surely the discs would be running out slightly radially which would vibrate and isn't ideal...

If you get in contact with LMF, they can provide you with a set of spacer rings to take it down to the correct size. Thik they cost me £15 + P&P, then already had a set of drilled & grooved turbo front discs, had them re-drilled to 4 stud. Painted the turbo calipers, then fitted & bled the braked. Be warned though, turbo or V6 brakes only fit behind 16" wheels, or cav gsi rims (came as standard on some calibras). They look rather nice & filling behind a set of 16" BBS RX alloys on a calibra ....:icon_mrgr
