Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm a newbie to all this stuff. Could somebody tell me what would be required to convert the Suzi's 5 stud thread pattern into a 6 stud one? Is there a way it is possible without buying different axles?

Thanks

i've heard of people re-drilling the holes to suite a 6 stud pattern...

have you considered just buying some new wheels? this would probably be a cheaper option than buying new axels?

cheers,
Greg

you shouldn't need new axles. what you would need to look at would be the possible re-drilling of the drum brake hats and the front rotors. my thoughts would be that there isn't enough material to do this safely.

why do you want a 6 stud? there are a number of places that can do custom wheels and there are a few off-the-shelf rims that will allow you to run bigger offset and larger tyres.

more info required mate.

Go talk to somebody who reconditions hubs and rotors, the combinations are surprising.

you can buy blank brake rotors, and it will cost about $30 to drill them accurately. you will have more dramas with the drums.

why on earth do u want to do this?

We have factory suzuki six stud discs & hubs. They are fairly rare in Australia.

that must suck for replacement parts.

Not really, I said we had them, not that we use them on any of our suzis.

Thanks for the replies.
The reason was because I am planning on getting some nice 4wd wheels (was also thinking 2nd hand landcruiser etc), and the majority or them are 6 stud

Hang on, a thread hijacking and I wasnt invited!!?!?!



Beck, what is the PCD of the 6 stud suzuki stuff you have? I wonder if we're able to order those hubs/drums from suzuki? That would be an easy (but I doubt cheap) way of doing it.

Why would the drums be such an issue? I cant think of why it would be a problem just to redrill them. If it turns out that you cant drill the drums you could do a rear disk conversion at the same time. Usually the drums have the outers cut off to make a sort of adapter plate that bolts to the end of the axle which accepts the disc rotor. You could easily have something custom made to suit a 6 stud rotor or just redrill the rotor with the 6 stud PCD.

If you actually want to wheel the thing with some decent size rubber you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone by swapping your zook axles out for donors from a hilux. Big job just to change the stud pattern but worth it if you are going with bigger tyres (32+?) as well.

Another option, i think CRUSHU is selling some PHAT 15x10 alloys, check out for sale section.

shame all the "guru's?" have forgotten to tell you that suzi's were available in 6 stud. call 4x4 parts aust in bris they have some of the drums and discs. although you have to get the right salesman. (checked on sat and they are still there..........

yeah , ya english suxs !!!!

but back to the thread !!!

wat year vechile are they from ????
& is it a sierra ?? or sumfin else ??

they may be 6 stud but is it a common bolt pattern ie will a cruiser wheel bolt to it or is it just a rare Suzuki rim. And as Moose said what model is it from

Thanks for the replys everyone, I think I will most likely end up getting a toyota diff conversion soon anyway so I should be able to use 6 stud wheels correct?
