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.

 

yes, 5 lug has bigger rotors and calipers.

 

you can buy tite *** JDM wheels DOG...

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

 

So they don't make that many wheels for the 5 lug. I understand now. I would still love to a 5 lug for my EK.

 

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 &lt;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.

 

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.

 

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..

 

calipers arn't rotating mass

 

True true, I was thinking about overall weight. My bad.

 

4 lug is 4x114 and 5 lug is 5x114

i didnt know if he meant a standard honda lug pattern or the old R pattern.

no smart *** intensions.

 

5 lug are way more common than 4 lug.

i know, we were playing the game "battle of the sexes" the other night.

that game is crazy hard.

no, no it is not.

And weight difference between 5 lug and 4x100 hub is pretty substancial.

 

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

 

why would you get 5 lug in the first place if you were into drag?
