Dude its Robert Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Has anybody ever converted a 521 from 6 lug to 5, or even 4? I've started thinking about it just because nice wheels are hard to find in a 6x5.5 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Define nice wheels. Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Have you found five, or four lug wheels you like? It might be possible to find five lug front hubs you could get to work with the right bearings in the front hubs. If you go to that trouble, may as well switch to disk brakes. For the rear axle, find a rear axle, and have it narrowed. Most axles are wider than a 521 rear axle, even later Datsun axles. Not on a budget, get a limited slip rear axle. Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 My old 620 had a 5 lug conversion up front. They just swapped out the rear with a ford 9" Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think they swap out toyota hubs.Which are 5 lug. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 There was ANOTHER thread aboot this just a couple of days ago. Cruise MKlotz70's content. You'll find it. In the last thread, there was a link to the InfamousNissan thread where they mod a Toyota 2WD truck hub to fit. Quote Link to comment
Dude its Robert Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks everybody for the input. I was planning on going disk if I converted. Most likely wont be able to afford limited slip but the Ford rear sounds possible. I was told to do 240sx front and rear but then someone else said people with 240's swap 300zx front and rear so I was wondering if anybody knows if that will work? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Stick with 6 lug. Buy disc brake brackets. Enjoy Datsun. Quote Link to comment
Dude its Robert Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I wasn't wanting to convert it just for disks, I've seen kits for that I just don't like any 6 lug rims I've been able to find. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 You got to be kidding.???????????
