Hey guys,

I'm planning to do a k20a swap in the near future on my EJ8. At the moment just want to upgarde the brakes and stud pattern so I can chuck on some nice rims. What would be better? 5 stud or 4 stud 114x4?

Thanks :)

5 or 4x114.3 doesnt really matter i think. more importantly is upgrading the booster and mc to itr spec.

u can still keep the 4x100 it doesnt really matter to tell you the truth good pads good rotors and mc upgrade..also good fluid is a tip..

i went 5x114.3 but that was just bling factor..

i maybe wrong but thats my 2 cents..

Depending on what stud pattern you wont, Type R calipers and rotors will be fine!

Cool thanks for the tip guys, I think I am steering toward 4x114 stud pattern. Loving the look of the jdm type r rims on my white EJ8 :)

if u are going to hit the strip with the car. 4x114.3 will shave a few kilos off 5 lug. just run good pads, itr mc and booster which makes the difference.
