Has any one heard of a 5 lug conversion for the xb?

 

someone was talking about it a couple months ago. I think it would be alot of work, and quite expensive. And the choice of wheels may be limited.

 

Well I had these wheels I have been wanting that I like alot and I just checked and noticed that they only come in 5 lug. Sence I had my heart set on thoughs wheels I figured I would check for a conversion before going on another hard search for wheels I like alot.

 

I was originally going to do that, but it's a pretty expensive mod just to get some different wheels. If you talk to scionvan, he can pretty much get ALMOST any wheel design you can think of. So try him first.

 

the guy with the silver xB from extreme scion has a five lug adapter. As far as going with a full five lug conversion, I have not seen that. On our company xA, we changed the rear studs to Tundra's so we could get the big lip in the rear and not hit the trailing arm

 

about how much do you think? and where can I get it?

 

I wouldnt be surprised if it would be a few thousand dollars.....but why....whats wrong with the 4 lug pattern it has now?

 

not worth it...rather spend some money on JDM low offset wheels

 

Yeah I think I will pass for a couple of grand.

 

Agreed.

 

I have a similar problem. The rims from my last car are 5x100, not 4x100.. looks like the conversion is too expensive and i'll hafta sell my beautiful Enkeis

 

I just got back from a wheel shop and the guy told me $120 per wheel for the conversion piece.

 

that may be for an adapter

 

ya, thaz what it was. is that what he wanted? i dunno

but all the wheels that i liked were 5 lug so thaz what the guy told me to do

 

Thats probably what I will end up doing because I cant find no wheels I like as much as the 5 lug ones I seen.

 

if you get adapters, make sure they are the billet ones. Cast adapters are dangerous. Also, adapters will push your wheels out atleast 1.25". So make sure your wheels have the correct backspacing.

 

who makes good adapters?

 

When i was at SEMA this year i notice that a couple companies were going to be making the adapters that you are looking for. Cost wise, this is obviously the best way to go.

The nice thing is that on most wheels, the adapters will actualy end up pushing the wheel all the way to the fender. As mentioned above, you just have to make sure of the offset you start with. I dont think you ll be able to start with anything lower than a +40mm offset.

BTW, the company you want to look at is TC Sportline. I ll dig around for their info if you cant find it

 

Well I found a website for TC Sportline but no info on an adapter. The wheels I want are 19x8.5 with a 45 offset. I prefer for my wheels to tuck under the fenders instead of stick out.

 

i would go without the adapter and get something in a 4 lug.
