The best P&P 5 lug conversion - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi, I want to do a 5 lugs swap because I have bought a 5x114.3 wheels set. What kind of set is the best? I know that a lot use the Tomegun/Contano one, but I've read some bad reviews about their bearings. Is Ichiba one fine (I think that they use OEM bearings)? What do you think that it's the best option? Obviously, I'm talking about new and P&P conversion so not used ones from Z32 or S14.

Bro why did you feel the need to create the same exact thread that you were actively getting answers on?

I don't want to help you but will correct you. You can still buy new S14 front hubs (will need matching knuckle, etc.), and new replacement bearings for the rear if you find used Z32/S14 hubs (the part w/ the lug studs and shaft that press into the bearing)

Otherwise buy Contano, ISR, Ichiba, etc. Stop trying to get spoonfed answers on quality. The info is all out there and most people are happy with whatever they purchase. It all comes down to what names you are comfortable with.

Yeah, I know that I've made 2 topics about the same thing, but I wanted other replies (since in Europe not a lot of S-chassis owners do it) from U.S. too (it's more common, I think) before buying, that's why!

You're on the same forum though. With the same people. Who press the same "new posts" button...

I thought that the Europe section isn't used a lot (compared to the NA one). I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother anyone.

You're not bothering anyone, we're all here because we're old and bored and want to help. You're just not using the forum effectively, questions like this go in tech or chat. These location-based forums are for meetups and track days and stuff.
