Changing up bolt size to 5x114

[MarkSubi]

Need help and advice with that. I want to get MB Battles eventrally for my BD but the bolt pattern is 5x114 as well as alot of other dope wheels thus I want to make it to where I can put those and others on my car.

Youll need 2005+ sti hubs, suspension to fit larger hubs, brake calipers, possibly caliper adapters, also possibly axles. I may be missing some, thats just off the top of my head.

Have you considered getting the wheels filled and redrilled for 5x100. May be the better route to go.

[MarkSubi]

Never herd of doing that. :o sounds good because damn, I wouldn't want to do all that. Well I would but I don't have the cash to do all of that and why the hell would i have to change my axle or do you mean the CV axle?

AKA Adaptec Speedware. Pretty much THE name in adapters. Mine were $320 or so. 5x100 to 5x114.3. No problems, no issues. Don't buy hubs to fit new wheels, lol. The adapters and BBS RSs ride better than my stock steelies. Just remember to get hubcentric. FYI, you MAY have to grind down the studs, depending on adapter width and wheel construction. Mine were 19mm, the narraowest you can get (for these bolt patterns).

Dis Man speekum dey troof!

Also, Mark, what size are the wheels? Width and offsets too please. Just curious.

[MarkSubi]

Well I don't have them yet but I'm thinking of going with 18s with a 8 or 9inch with and offset idk. I'm new to wheels so I need to revamp my knowledge on that stuff lol

[csweston]

Err good luck getting those to fit....

[MarkSubi]

Well its Just a thought. the body of BDs may be to small to make it look good. I may just go with 17s or 16s like I was originally planning.

[chromehorn]

Ya, 18's are too big. They'll fit but you won't be low. Also 9's are super hard to fit up front. You'd need your offset perfect to do so. 9's will fit in the rear (you;ll need alot of stretch, and they'll poke) at +22 offset or so.

BBS RS 16×8 (+40...+21 with adapters) and 16×9 (+40...+21 with adapters)
^^these are approximate, I don't remember the exact numbers
Falken 512s 205/40 16 (512s are smaller and stretch better than any tire of an equivelent size)

The rears only fit after 4 degrees of negative camber (you'll need camber plates). These were 16's and they rubbed with anything in the back.

PM, if you want help with offsets, widths etc.

Don't forget the rolling...

[MarkSubi]

I have to roll my front ones already on my stockies and this actually makes me happy. everyones likes "18s" "17" and for the longest I just wanted 16s but buy looking at other cars bigger wheels kind of got my attention but now I have to go with 16s so sweet! :P but yeah that was my orignal plan and now the plan I'm sticking with. 16x8 I may do 9s in the rear though. idk yet. Yes I plan on making the first hellfush BD.

ignore everything everyone just told you.
get kics 5x114 adapters they come in 15-30 mm
get a 18x8.5 with medium high offset for the 15mm
or get a 18x8 with whatever offset with the 30mm
then run a 215/35 tire all around. call it a day. i should get paid for this

Ok, so we've determined that you either need adapters to change the hub pattern, or do a full 5x114 hub swap. Awesome.
