right i purchased some 19s for my old 4 stud cally but then had the accident. Now i have me new car which is 5 stud i was hoping to fit these wheels but i need to convert the car.

What parts would be needed to convert to 4-stud. I know i would have to change front disc's and hub which is fairly straight forward. But what would be needed to convert the rear and what problems would i come across and would i need to replace any brake lines/bolts/cables?

what condition are your 308 disc's?

**Hulmie** · by **Hulmie** » Mon May 26, 2008 9:41 am

I'm looking at doing the 308 conversion would you sell them on and where is the best place to get the brackets for the calipers?

They were made 5 stud for a reason, I personally wouldn't go down the route of changing to 4 stud makes much more sense just to sell your wheels and buy 5 stud equivalent.

humlie you can buy a hub conversion kit, i will be a pian tho

ive used them before at work. eg, the pcd of an mgf is 4x95.25 and i used the conversion kit which is like a hub centric spacer with studs which i bolted to the hub and the bolts sit flush within the recess and then i placed the wheel on the spacer and used nuts to bolt it to that making the cars pcd 4x100 allowing many more wheels to be fitted.....

you can get these kits made to order for your personal aplication

you can use the same process yourself its easy but depending on the offset of your wheels you may need to send them to somewhere like autopart so they can make your wheels a lower offset allowing for the conversion kit

Agree. Seems odd to "trade down".
