I would do the swap, but i bet its really expensive! Probably not worth it.

Axles and rotors are pretty cheap. It's just the other stuff that may need to be changed. No one has done it before so there's no parts list.

Well i found a picture of how the 15mm adapter mounts to the hub.

The thing im confuse about is how would you mount the wheels on when there are oem studs sticking out? Im guessing we have to shave them off or maybe buy shorter studs.

Most wheels have spaces on the mounting pad between the holes so the OEM studs will clear.

Would you even need the axle? Seems like the hub and brake setup would be all you need aside from some mild fabrication. I know nothing about the topic though so I could be way wrong lol

^^Im not sure as well. Another option would maybe be to redrill and refill the hub? Might be dangerous.

You just made my day Jon! There is hope after all.

That's betting on the hub dimensions being the same. It would be awesome if they are.

Not all wheels have that so ask before you order. Or else you'll have to run 25mm adapters so the studs are completely recessed. May not seem like a lot but 10mm is why I can't put my wheels on now lol.

What would be great is if someone attempted to swap axles/hubs/brakes with the xB2 or tC2.

Oh i didnt know he had them. I think he is in the army now. So i cant ask him for his review or help.

Ah gotcha...it might get pricey then because if the xb2 axles are to long/short then finding/getting something that will fit means $$$$

There was a thread discussing hub swaps but I think the issue was getting axles to match with the hub, also you'll have to find rotors with the same dimension as our OEM setup, unless you go custom on the brake setup; also getting the e-brake connected and functional. Either way it's likely going to take some $$$ to get done.

The adapter method is probably the easiest.

The good thing about 5x114.3 wheel is that there's a huge selection of wheels to choose from and they would be easier to sell down the road. haha Thats why im thinking about going 5x114.3 over 5x100.

Lol ditto. I probably will never buy a legit 5x100 wheel. When I had my Rotas I made sure I got dual drilled ones so I could sell them easier and my Works are 5x114.

I plan on running adapters and shaving my studs. I might be ballsy but whatever.

Why not run slip on spacers with extended studs. That way you don't have to shave your oem studs.

Wish it was that easy but the wheels are not 5x100 that he plans to run, and the mounting pad is flat, it'll be a thick ol' adapter to git-r-done.

I wouldn't recommend stacking spacers, adapters, even spacers with adapters, just say no.
