  • Is there a 5 lug hub/rotor swap you can do?

    ^Just the hubs\rotors, maybe from a newer ford or honda?

    None that I know that would be a direct replacement, most likely any 5 lug hub would require custom axles (to fit the spline count)

    But why go through all that just for another lug nut?

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      I quite agree there. I don't know why 5 lug has become so fashionable for econoboxes aside from planned obsolescence of older drivetrains. Once you've done the Aspire swap to 100mm (from the Festy 4 1/2 inch) there are hundreds of choices for rims already. I bolted on VW rims initially (required a hub centric spacer ring) but ultimately found that Kia Rio stuff is a direct fit. Now I'm running 14s with no rubbing or interference (with spring perches) issues at all. No doubt there are compatible 15s out there too but lo-profile tires will be pricey.

        I was just wondering how easy. but the way it sounds your right to much trouble.
        (there is just so many rims i like and the bolt pattern is five lugs)< Not worth it though i will just wait for the right ones.

          you can find pretty much any wheel in both 4 or 5 lug, but i'll agree that some wheels look better with 5 lugs, say on a 5 spokes

          Other than looks, I'd say it isn't worth it to do

                I've been wondering about this too. The aspire hubs are too small to drill to 5 lug ( not enough area would be left for strength) and aftermarket hub adapters would kick the wheel out at least 1+ inch and create more possibility for unbalanced rotating mass and unsprung weight. There are some really nice looking 5 spokes I'd love for my new one but they also only come in 5 lug patterns. I'm certain a machine shop could make front hubs to fit the spindles. Have to do some jy measurements to see what 5 lug rotors would fit or re drill the 9 1/4 stockers. I'm subbin this thread.
