BKB94 Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 So I have been thinking of running rear non SHP wheels on the front without having to roll fenders, limit steering, and reduce scrub. Some say they have done this with no issues and others with the same size tire say it rubs everywhere. I can only think of 2 simple methods and one is machine the back of the wheel, probably .200 max off mounting hub. The other would be a hub off a different car that has the flange more towards the strut. For example the 1987 300zx turbo uses the same bearings in the front hub as our cars. So does anyone have hubs off something different that can list measurements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I've heard 240sx spindles fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB94 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) I have asked my drifter friend to see if he can snag me some S13 parts. Honestly it would be cake to make new hubs. Using Ford rotors since they have less of a dish and move everything in .5 use my PBR calipers with new mounts. Only thing I need to check is if that much hub will fit in the wheel with the center cap on. Just checked and .5 would work and still get the center cap on. Doing that and cutting the back of the wheel would move everything in .700 and should really help scrub and rubbing.

Turbo Cary Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Why not use 300zx brakes with S13 spindles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860QuestTuner Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I believe to use the S14 spindle you need to swap the whole strut assembly . The hub mounting points are different than the starion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsolete Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Shorter control arms are an option too. You could shorten yours, or use ones from a narrowbody car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
