If you wanted I'm looking to change my car from 4 stud to 5 stud so I'm sure we could work it out . You could have my hubs and my discs and I'll have yours win win

or redrill the current ones :idea:

there may also be an issue with driveshafts as the widths are slightly different on the 5th gen vs 4th gen

how about a 2ltr 5th gens hubs?
And the bore size is smaller on the 4 stud hubs genius :p

Because they look nice, you'll get a good price. ;)

And you can easily find another set that will look just as good..

It will actually take you longer to find all the bits you need to do the conversion than it will to sell the wheels & get some suitable alternatives. Not to mention the added expense & effort. :roll:

Just being the voice of reason. 3rd person perspective can be a useful tool. :)

Although I'm not saying I'm right..just objective.

Sorry for late reply, I'm not sure if it is worth the money and effort to change them over so it looks like I may have to reluctantly sell them :( if it was a simple swap it would be okay but from what people are saying it doesn't seem like it is

Wiggz is offering you a solution pal might be worth a chat with him!
Last thing u want end up doing is paying out more money on new wheels and another refurb.
With his solution u get hubs u need and will help u swap it all over all for no doubt the price of tea and biscuits :D
