does anyone know how or if it is even possible to convert from the 4 lug pattern to the five lug pattern?

 

dont know how but yes it is. quite extensive work though.

 

brake assembly from an lsj = Expensive

/thread

 

I heard from a guy that its been done. Apparently you need 4 hubs, new rear drums and SS front brakes.

 

That guy would happen to be you would it.....still want my rims?

 

nah man wasnt me

 

was talking to maven

 

Nah, the konigs are nice but I dont need em right now.

 

tease....

 

yes you can it would run you about $2,000 dollars to do it actually

 

Used Hubs=$50 each.
New Drums=$160
Used LSJ front calipers: $80
New LSJ rotors and pads $250

Doesnt sound like $2000 to me.......

 

Maven, did you do a how to on this?

I don't need it, but it would be a great reference for those that want it.

 

Dont forget that he needs new wheels too!! lol

 

I didnt include wheels because if youre thinking about a 5lug swap youre obviously thinking about new wheels anyway, not an extra expense.

 

What about wheel adapters that convert to 5 lug? Would that work

 

hey dude!

 

do they have to be lsj?
can i take the parts off of my 3LT and put them on my LS to swap the hubcaps/wheels?

 

hey, hows the little asian ***** working for you?

 

its doing the job dick head

 

Sure it would work but i dont like spacers, I dont think they are safe on the street unless you upgrade to racing wheel studs and then you still are putting extra stress on bearings, spacers are cheaper though, LOL
Sure you could that would work fine, its actually easier that way(no need to change calipers, just the bracket) but its hard to get aftermarket rotors for the 5lug LTs, and the brackets you need cost just as much as a good used or reman LSJ caliper so its really a waste unless you plan on running small wheel that the LSJ brakes wont fit in.

 

i just purchased new wheels and tires for my 3lt a few months ago, and now i just bought a ls coupe. im giving the 3lt to my gf to drive, but i was planning on swapping the wheels and tires.

i wonder if pepboys is capable of doing this..

what all needs to be swapped in this case? i just want to run the 16' alloys that gm gave me on my 3lt, on my ls

 

LOL glad to hear

I wouldn't trust pep boys with a etcher sketch... I say do it yourself and impress the GF . Shouldn't be that hard

 

You cant swap the stuff from the LS to the LT because youll lose your ABS, PepBoys will charge you obscene amounts of money to do the swap. Think about this..... fours hubs, two front brake jobs, two rear brake jobs, and 8 hub replacements........

Just buy some 16" wheels for the LS, WAY cheaper.

 

I have 17's for sale

 

the shipping would murder me!

i'll have to get some aftermarket wheels and tires later this year then

edit: wonder how fast i can burn through stock conti's without intentionally doing any burnouts!
