As per previous threads, my car has had a 5-lug conversion - I think correctly done. The front hubs/rotors/calipers are 914-6/early 911 ones as far as I can tell (ATE calipers), I therefore assume the rear hubs/rotors/calipers might also 914-6 or similar? Can someone confirm? TIA

Just for laughs, Google's Ai analysis of the photo tells me it's from a Nissan Primera P12... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

OK, so they changed the hubs and rotors for 5-lug… but the 5 lug rotor has basically the same dimensions overall as the 4-lug one, so it fits with the stock -4 caliper? Is that how it works?

pretty close...
if you stay with non vented rotors... the OD of the 5bolt rotor gets turned down a tiny amount... to work on a 4 cylinder set up.
