Question 5 lug or no 5 lug

I got an s14 that is a base model and i think about going with a 5lug convert but dont no if i should. I was wonder what the pro and con about 5 lug and 4lug? I hear there more rim to pick from for a 5 lug is that true?

5Lug = more rim choices, able to push more HP with less worry about snapping drive axles/studs. 4Lug = owns the world. Its all based on preference. You should just stick with some suspension mods before worrying about rims/ misc. stuff IMHO.

work on your english first.

5lug does not really mean MORE rim choices, it means MORE offset choices than rims. if you can careless and love +40 then no need for 5lug

search and do a 5lug

yes its true. You can't find any 4 lug rims for 240s. go 5 lug for sure.

4 lugs suck..

oh, wait i have 4 lugs

yeah, 5 lugs = more rim choices, but you still CAN find good rims for 4 lugs, it's just a little more tough and less choices, easier if you're not picky/poor/cheap... i've found my set of rims that i like in 4 lugs so i don't have a need for 5 lug...
there really isn't any other real pros/cons besides rim selection...

The basic idea-4lug 300whp or less, 5lug 300+. Also, 9524tee is the suspension god, especialy when it come so 240's. Just send him a PM and he can tell you exactly what you need.

like everyone is saying 5 lug is better for the wheel offset. more choices i think and for cheaper. you can find some nice 4 lug wheels with a good offset though but itll cost you. just stay 4 lug.

Dude, just get some 280zx rims. Those are like, 14x7.5 or something. Pretty good tire size for the price.
