Hi guys, on their way is a set of EK9 brakes front and rear.

was just wondering what everyone would do in my situation.

about 2 months back i bought a set of 17inch bronze/gunmetal grey Gmax (Te37 style rims) but their 4 stud.

And the brakes are 5 stud, right so

Should i get rid of the rims since i got them for a good price and buy some 5 studs?

Or modify the brakes to fit 4 stud?

by the way anybody know the price of rotaslipstreams 5 studd in 15/16inch?

type one

stick with the 5 stud and lose the rims.

Less hassle.

if i change to 5 stud, i'll look for second hand volks, or try get 5 stud rotaslipstreams.

But i've only seen the slip streams sold in 4 stud

5 studs... EK9 discs should be a bit bigger than EK1 discs anyway for the front and EK1 comes with drums at the back if its a CXi so its pointless if you have 5 stud rear EK9 with 4 stud front EK1 brakes... if u can get DC2R brakes even better i think they're a little bit bigger than EK9...

pretty sure EK9 brakes same as dc2R.
yeah do the EK9 5 stud conversion and look for some new wheels.
stud patern converter/spacer is dodgey. dont do it. illegal anyway.
