How to run 4X114.3 on 4X100 hubs

[GSi_PSi]

Ive herd something about using hubcentric spacers? how does this work and were can i get them from?. whats is the cost>?
is it cheaper to redrill the wheel?

You can get hubcentric spacers that bolt onto your 4x100 hubs, but they give you a 4x114.3 PCD.
This should be a last resort though as I would be paranoid of the studs snapping off after extended use.

From cheap to quality, they can cost anywhere from $50 to $250 a pair, these are critical parts since they hold your wheels on so I wouldn't cheap out on them.

I'm not sure if they make them, but a good spacer company to look at is H&R.

Can't and won't have said it better then geeang.

Also If I'm not mistaken H&R spacers are ADR approved (correct me if I'm wrong)

If you are keen, not sure if they are still for sale-

will i have to carefull with any offsets ? so these are pretty strong?
thanks for the link bro. and the info

anyone knoe how much it is to re-drill a rim, just wanna compare prices

[DLO01]

They arn't 'hubcentric spacers' are they? They are just 'spacers'.

[gee-aye-dee]

all spacers are illegal unless they came factory on the car

redrilling the wheel will be as worse as running spacers. There are spacers to convert 4x100 to 4x114.3 but there usually like 15mm +

[gee-aye-dee]

redrilling a wheel can be done professionally and safely. not many people will do it though

[GSi_PSi]

say if the wheel has space for new holes. what if they drill it with new space instead of filling up a hole etcc etc is that still worse?

[MikeyG]

yes... you can say its damaging the wheels cause the holes that you want aren't supposed to be there.

[gee-aye-dee]

depends how it is done if you look at multifit wheels (i.e 9 hole) they are dont this way sharing just one hole. also multistud wheels are dont this way also. they are not cast like that so they must be drilled somehow in a safe and practical way

[G-Stick]

just get the 4x114.3 brakes instead. heaps of cheaper wheels in 4x114.3

hubcentric means u dont die when u use them.

hubcentric FTW !

Not necessarily, hubcentric doesn't mean you won't die when you use them, it just means it'll take longer before you do :D

im not for spacers, but i wouldnt down rate them the way u guys do.......

my bro and a good mate of mine who is in Drift Australia, use them all day every day, and under plenty of stress with x9 and x10 inch rims on the fronts and backs with bolt on and slip on spacers.......

again, i dont recommend or like them, but its been proven that they work and work well and are reliable...............i mean if they can take the abuse of a full drift preped track car and street drifting, then im sure on a honda it will be fine..........

[vinnY]

extended studs + quality spacers are fine imo
been using them for over a year now without drama's

I got a quote to re drill 4x114.3 Gab sports > 4x100 @ neales wheels straithfield. $120 per wheel, bloke gave me 2 options

1. Weld up the existing holes, and redrill .
2. Leave existing 4x114, but weld up the back of the rim, and then redrill.. This changes the wheel structure because the heat used is soo strong it changes grain structure or something..and is not advised, so the bloke said.


Im also quite inclined to getting a set of those hubcentric adapter thingos!

well if anyone wants 4x114.3 ive got the jdm dc2r brakes forsale in melbourne :thumbsup:
