6 TO 5

HOW CAN i CHANGE MY LUGS FROM 6 TO 5? AND WHAT DO I NEED BECAUSE 5'S HAVE MORE OFTIONS?

i know that theres like bolt on adapter plates. someone on here was selling a set a while ago. i think it was dropped90. theres other ways but i'm not sure. adapters are probably the easiest to do

I'll try to find them

not takin anything away from dropped90, but the adapters will space the wheels out @ 2" in most cases.

there are a couple other solutions tho, there are one or two companies that make new front 5 lug hubs, or you could just re-drill the fronts, or you could swap in a yota spindle & hub assembly which requires a little finangling with the steering linkages & ball joints..... on the rear you have a couple other options too, one pull the axle shafts & have them & the brake drums re-drilled, or find a yota or other mfg's suitable axle & swap it into the mazda.

if you'll look thru the 5-lug posts in the suspension section, there is a wealth of info in there

Heres my redrilled hubs...


98 mustang 8.8

aerostar front hubs and a yota rear end is what ive heard works well.

i did the tayota front end it took like 3 hr. to complete. i am having my rear redrilled and it not done yet. i have ptep by step pics if anyone wants pics just pm me your e-mail address and i will send them or e-mail me at

Are the Astro hubs direct fitment? I'd like to purchase some direct fit front hubs etc. I'm going to have to get my family do it since i'm out of the country at this point in time (military). If i can have them do a quick swap and have the rear parts take to get redrilled, i'd rather go that route. Thanks in advance for anyone's reply.
