2G 96 Eclipse 5 lug to 4 lug hub conversion

[Velmin hu]

greetings I got 96 gst bought axis se7en rims 18 but there are 4 lug with 114.3 and the eclipse only came with 5x114.3 any way to convert it so I can put the rims on like drilling or wheel adapters thanks.

Any way to convert 5x114.3 eclipse original size bolt pattern to new rims 4x114.3 please help.

Why? Going to a 4 stud is not the best thing to do, its outdated and in all fairness useless,
Dont also forget that good wheels in 4x114.3 are actually harder to come by in decent sizes,

Stick with the stock stud pattern,

If you are really hell bent on doing it then just go and buy Galant wheel bearings as they are 4 stud stock

It would be a million times easier to just sell them and buy wheels with the correct lug pattern even if you could find 4 lug hubs that could be modified to work on a 2G DSM. You'd have to match axle diameter and spline count at the 4 lug hub or else make custom CV axles that mated to the DSM transmission.

Square peg round hole.

If you have size 12 feet you don't buy size 8 shoes and ask a doctor to cut your toes off, do you?

All 7th and 8th gen galants should be 4 stud, the VR4 models in europe at least all came 5 stud

Thanks so it galant 4 wheel bearing should slide into where the 5 stud wheel bearing went in. Same size diameter housing figment on axle.

You are changing the entire hub. As stated above it would be way way easier to get new wheels. Cheaper too. The manner in which you ask the question suggests you aren't aware just how much work this is.

saluti, ho preso 96 gst e ho comprato i cerchi Axis Se7en da 18 pollici, ma ci sono 4 fori con 114,3 e l'Eclipse era dotata solo di 5x114,3. C'è un modo per convertirli in modo da poter montare i cerchi, tipo foratura o adattatori per ruote? Grazie.

C'è un modo per convertire il modello di bulloni originale Eclipse 5x114.3 in nuovi cerchi 4x114.3? Aiutatemi, per favore.

Ciao, Hello, if you don't want to use those wheels because the holes don't fit. I would be interested in buying
