5 lug & ls 4 lug
What is up with the ls 4 lug and the type r 5 lug? I have seen a lot of people with 5 lug conversions wanting ls 4 lug conversions. Is there a major difference.

I'm gonna ignore the first couple of jackass posts.. you know people that want to switch from a 5 lug to a 4 lug? the only reason behind that, that I can see would be there is alot more choices in wheels

i think people change from 5 lug to 4 lug because of more rotational mass. bigger rotor=more weight for axles+trans to turn.
i know it would be minimal but i see it around here

LOL
sorry the <1lb they would save isnt even noticable.
only way i see a 5 to 4 lug is for wheel choice.

Actually, they are quite a bit heavier.
Sorta like going from a 14 pound wheel to a 9 pound wheel. Doesn't seem like that much, but it makes a difference.

Re: (fowleryo)
there is no way in hell there is a 5lb diffrence between the rotors.
and i understand about the wheels but why not just get a lightweight racing wheel? like the kosei k1? they come in 5lug.

Re: (Kamin)
It's not just the rotors, its the calipers too.
Pick them up and you can feel a difference, trust me.
One of the only reasons I could see switching to a 4 lug set up for the wheels would be to run 13/14" slicks.. auto-x or drag..

Re: 5 lug & ls 4 lug (jcarothers)
5 lug are way more common than 4 lug.

Re: 5 lug & ls 4 lug (b20_EK)
a lot of people that want to go back to 4 lug from 5 lug is because it is a lot easlier to run slicks and the wheels that u mounts slicks on with 4 lugs. i hav had a lot of people offer me their 5 lug for my gsr 4 lug because they said the wheels they wanted to run for slicks arent made in 5 lug. maybe that clears that up
