Question S14: 4lug to 5lug = what would i need?

I wasunfortunate to have a base model S14 that came with a 4lug system. What would I need to purchase inorder to swap it into a 5lug system?

I may be wrong, but i've read that i can use spindles that came with my car and just buy the 5lug hubs and i should be good from there.

Can anyone give me some input on this?

There's somethings you dont have to buy when youhave a 95-96 4lug S14 and want to convert it to a 95-96 5lug s14. Im trying to confirm this so I wont have to buy every single thing needed to convet when my car may already have some of the parts. AND I did search, most of the threads were not help at all, so I'm asking a straight forward question this time.

What would I need to buy to convert a 4lug 95-96 S14 to a 5lug system from a 95-96 S14?

There's a wrecked 240SX which is the same year as mine here and I want to know the specific things I'll need and wont need to save a few bucks. That is all.

So the hubs and thats it? Are you sure I wont need anything else except rims and tires. I'll need a set of 5lug brake rotors as well.

Just like Jynx said, but this time coming from a guy who actually has an S14 (just messin' with ya Jynx LOL).

I have a 95 SE, my neighbor has a 96 base, so we already went over this:

- 5 lug rotors (Ebay it, prices are good for real Brembos)
- all 4 hubs (I've read that the Z32's not necessary... I think they're the same as S14?)
- wheels of course (funny, a lot of people overlook this)

...and don't forget 4 more lug nuts

You'd be better off repacking the bearings too since you're down there... and checking the brakes... and replacing the shocks with coilovers... and
