hub conversions

[ff_drift_lol]

soooo could i put 4x110 hubs on my fe5 knuckles? and wtf is the deal with 5x114.3. i'm getting tired of looking at cheap wheels.

you would lose your rear brake discs(i think), unless you buy the conversion brake(ion forum)

so, yes it can be done, its not alot of work, just need the parts and cash.

basically just reverse this http://www.cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=165238

well since the caliper brackets are already there, i guess i could just find the same size rotor with that bolt pattern, or re drill them. do the 5x114.3 grand am hubs have the same wheel speed sensors as the 5x110?

Ok thats right the bracket is independent of the hub assembly,So then rotor will be the next thing, I have no clue about the grand ams, being as common a bolt pattern it is, finding a rotor shouldn't be too hard.

So where is the caliper bracket attached to on yours?
reason im asking is if its attached to something removable, maybe thats an easy swap for a disc conversion in place of drums...

i want rear discs bad

[YelloEye]

Go hit up a junkyard and grab the rear swing arm off an FE5 Ion or Cobalt

[cobalt123]

problem is there are no junk yards in my area that would have them FE5s are not very common here
