Hi all.

I'm in the process of converting my car to five-lug. I have all the parts for the front but am struggling to find definitive information on how to convert the rears.

I know it is possible to drill the hubs, but I'm really looking for strength, and so would like to use 911 parts all the way through.

Anyone able to help with part numbers etc?

If you still have a four in it, URO makes a conversion hub. Fits the stock stub axle but has five lugs. I’m pretty sure PMB sells them. If you have a six, there’s a thread by Eric explaining the conversion to 911 parts.

Just a heads up on the 5 lug conversion from URO. They are all but dried up. Lots of places advertise but they are NOT in stock. Also you must consider the cost of 10 wheel studs at $100 extra. This is the cheapest option.

Thanks both. The car has a Subaru six cylinder in it.

Mark - I just PM'd you!

I’ll second that. I ordered these recently and they came up unavailable after a couple weeks of waiting. Got the refund and ordering the kit from PMB.

Curious what you are planning for, that you are concerned about the strength of re-driled rotors? Prior to the URO items these were the GO-TO & hundreds are still on the road?

Rich, he wants to have larger and more available CV's since he is installing a Subaru 6 and to have a better choice of tires. beerchug.gif
