5 Lug Rear conversion question
If I install the drilled 5 lug hubs, can I just buy the 914/6 rear brake rotors and install them on it? Or do I have to drill the rotors also?

that is what I was told to do when I was looking into it. You have to have a little bit on the inside of the caliper removed though, they are little bigger that the 4 lug disc.

The reason I ask, there is a guy on Ebay selling a set of new rear 914/6 rotors for $200.00 starting bid. Pelican sells them for 65.00 each. I can just get a set of those and be done with it.

Just buy the Pelican ones. You don't have to do much if anything to install them. They go right onto the drilled hubs. Some find it necessary to trim off a tad of the overall diameter in a brake lathe because of what Mike said. You could probably do it with a belt sander right on the car.

Probably cheaper to use 914-6 ones. Unless you have the right drill bits for your drill press, and don't count your time as worth anything...

Hawdy, folks
I bought 914-6 rotors from the guys who drilled my hubs - they fit poifectly. Just bolt on and go, I didn't have to do anything to the calipers. Buy them at Pelican, the prices are very competitve. Cheers, Jeff

Yeah Scott, I'm with Joe - but I think you'd rather see them on my car.

They wont fit on either of your cars. With 245X50's on them I assure you, they will rub. And Joe, I know that you have a complete set of 16's already.
