Ke55 With Hilux Diff Conversion

[superkart]

Hi guys,

 

I have a KE55 with a hilux rear end conversion. The hilux rear end has 5 stud drum brakes on the rear.

 

I want to make the whole car have the same amount of studs/PCD but I'm stuck as to what do to. I.E. Should I convert the front end to 5 stud or get disc brakes on the back with 4 stud? I'm happy to do upgrades on both ends, but I think the easiest option would be bigger disks on the front with a 5 stud conversion to bring them inline with the rear. Any ideas as to what cars are 'compatable' or require minnimal fabrication?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Cheers, Mike.

Hilux 5 stud is 5x114.3, the same as falcons, 5 stud mazdas, skylines, 200sx's, 300zx's and many more. I have s4-5 rx7 4 pot brakes on my rx4, they were 5x114.3 and I though about a hilux diff to match up the stud pattern. Ended up going the other way, got a 13b diff which was orinial stud pattern and re-drilled the s4-5 stuff to match.

I have a rn10 jilux diff in my coupe with the standard 5 stud patten and Ba falcon front brakes so i have 5 stud all round. Only thing to think about as well if you are shorting a diff set it up so you can use the same offset all the way round. I have to use pre au on the fron t and late model falcon on the back as the diff is a little narrow to use pre au on the back. MAkes buying wheels hard trust me!
