Hurley Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have a72 521. Would like to change to 4 lug for more wheel options.I already have a rear end from a 510 wagon. I am new to this, so what are my options? Please help me. Link to comment
slodat Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 There are more readily available, inexpensive 6 lug wheels than there are 4x4.5 wheels! Factory wheels on Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, some Ford, Nissan, Totyota, you get the idea. Datsun's are 6x5.5. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Mazda, Trooper, D-50? I have Chevy rims. They are 15" so more tire choices than 14s. Link to comment
Hurley Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 But can i run 4 lug in the front? If so , what are my options. I realy would like to put some rotas on my 521 and dump it. Link to comment
slodat Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 There is no easy, bolt on 4 lug conversion for a truck. Link to comment
BenJammin Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 When I bought my 620 it had 6 to 4 lug adapters, just have to account for the additional (negative) offset in your wheel selection. Try these guys: http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/subpages/custom_wheels_adaptit.htm or these (I got some spacers from these guys, same thing as the adapters but same lug pattern, were made in China, but looked pretty good, just gotta watch what you are getting on the threads 1.25 or 1.5 pitch) http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Adapter_6_Lug_5_5_To_6_Lug_5_5_p/6550-6550c.htm Link to comment

I realy would like to put some rotas on my 521 and dump it. Why change? I've seen Rota Grids out there before in a 6 lug. In fact I think the red one in the 620 gallery here has 'em. Just gotta dig around, they're out there. Link to comment
Ray 620 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I tried to call these guys and they said they dont make any 6 to 4 lug adapters... guys have any other ideas on how to do the conversion? and also converting it to disc brakes? I'd like to do this so that i can swap wheels to and from my ae86. Link to comment
toyorotor Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 i run a 521 H190 rear axle on my toyota corolla and I had a Machine shop redrill the axles to 4lug. Most machine shops can do it. Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 If you want wheel selection, 5 lug is the way to go. Plus many 5 lug wheels are made for RWD cars and trucks so the offset is closer to zero. Rota RB-R comes in 5-lug on a special order. That is if you're looking at those 17x9" wheels. Plus you can go with a Toyota axle. Switch to ball joints in front with the custom arms available on this site. Then you can probably use 1980's Toyota truck spindles. (2wd) Link to comment
