Gen4 five stud conversion enquiries..

So, interested to know what's entailed in doing a 5 stud conversion on a Gen4.

1. Is it a balls-ache of a task, or relatively straightforward procedure?

2. Which hubs does one go for, simply any Gen5?

3. Does doing this alter the offset at all, or is that not even a factor?

4. Will you need to get Gen5 calipers to suit, or will Gen4 ones still fit?

5. Are there any other points to consider (other than Nitin being sexy..Iain. :roll: :lol: )?

Cheers. :mrgreen:

I wouldn't be doing it by myself I wouldn't imagine. More likely enlisting help for friendship & favours. :D :hug: :lol:

I don't have the skills yet. But I am learning slowly. ;)
