hay i am new to this form and i need some help. yes i have searched and cant fined my answer. i bought brand new Brembo calipers, rotors and pads from a Nissan sentra se-r for my 1991 240sx as i have searched and found out they bold on to my 240sx.(i haven't installed them yet) the rotors are 4x114.3 just as i needed before but now i decided to go 5 lug so 5x114.3 so i looked around and not many places in my area drill rotors and places that do cost too much. my question is what other rotors can i use that are 5x114.3, fit 240sx, and will work with my brembos ? i was told 300zx non-turbo but i cant find more info to prove it. thanks

Both Evo8/9 and 05+STi rotors are 5x114.3 However they are not 100% identical. Do more research.

I don't think you can run the evo rotors cause there 13.1 I believe cause I just bought a complete evo brembo setup

yea evo 8/9 and sti are way to big and are thicker. maybe you should do more research

Just re-drill your rotors yourself. Not hard to do.

get a drill. Not a cheap one for $5, but something around $40-$60 should do. Clamp the rotor that has the correct lug patter onto the new rotor and drill the pattern out. It works and remember you can't really mess up the rotor, cuz it's held in the center by the hub flange and not the wheel studs.

Drilling them is the way to go. I drill q45 rotors (for brake upgrade) to 4 lug all the time.

Get a 5lug 5x114 rotor for a templet.

hub centric, so drill as much as u want as they said

but I don't think the rotor's hat offset will be the same, only one way to find out. remember that rotor has to lineup directly in the middle of that caliper or it would work correctly.
