5 lug conversion

[overzealous1]

i tried searching but coming up with nothing. i have heard of people doing it, and apparently its easy, but what donor car parts should i be looking for? mostly just looking to do it to open up a few more wheel options.

Surely in the US you could easily convert to the Rossion hubs etc .

I beleive the hubs are early mondeo.
The late mondeo are 5 stud so that's where I'd look first. Not sure if the driveshaft size changed between early and late, or the wheel bearing.
Worth a measure though.

The driveshafts aren't modeo though. I remember being told they are ford cougar..?

I think Hollowpockets may have started to look into Q1 parts to do this

They are custom built for Rossion they are direct replacement for the noble hubs

Do it properly and fit Porsche hubs... then porsche wheels and brakes fit
I've been working on this conversion over winter hope to have something put together for the summer

I designed the corvette hud into the uprights

^ do the rear axle splines actually line up with the corvette? i thought i saw someone making "track" axles. probably wouldn't be too hard to have them just respline them differently i guess.

I believe this is the only way:

Remove OEM hub and bearing
Fit new bearing with mondeo 5x108 hub
Use a 30mm spacer/adapter from 5x108 to 5x130
Install a set of Porsche fitment rims (oz, bbs, sparco, made in china....)

[GTO600]

Does this qualify as 5 lug ?

I have been interested in this for a while, but the thought of a nice set of Speedline wheels kept me off the hunt for a little bit.. I ended up finding a bit more info from Raiden Performance (www.raidenperformance.com) via an email I send inquiring about hubs and some rubber feet that they had listed on the site.

They sell both the Noble and Rossion hubs, so I asked if they were easily swapped, and what might be involved..

Below is the email portion talking about the hubs..

"There are two options for the 5 stud hubs:

Complete set $790 (hubs and bearings). New bolts for both front rotor hats are $72 (optional).
You will need a machine shop to drill 4 new holes in the existing rotor hats (fronts only) for the 5 stud hubs to fit.

OR

Switch to Alcon floating rotors (come in 4 or 5 stud hubs, fronts only). The kit includes caliper brackets, and discs for $1,950.
You will still need the 5 stud hubs and bearings for this kit."

? Thoughts? Seems a bit high on some of the pricing, but it sounds as if the Rossion hubs are the answer..

As I said I'm developing my own conversion for Porsche hubs brakes and wheels to fit our uprights... If it works then others can copy what I have done and it should be a lot cheaper than converting to Rossian
