the U12 and U13 bluebirds use a 4/114.3 PCD, i am unsure on offset, i have been trying to find this out, 14 inches standard on the U12 and 15's on the U13, have a chat wit a wheel shop they will be able to get it for you pretty quick, hope it helps

damn i haven't been on these forums for ages (around 9 months), didn't realise there was a import section

stock bluebird wheels (aussie) are +42 offset and fit the import bluebird fine, so i'd say they're the same offset - oh and definately 4x114.3.

It can be done with a lot of mucking around, changing stud patterns and all that but i would dare say the trouble you go through wouldnt be worth it.

it would be worth the trouble coz the amount of wheels that can be purchased by doing this mod is 10 times that of the 4 stud variety!! :P

and then if you wanted 4 pot calipers then it makes it easy for this too

it is also quite easy to do and relatively inexpensive unless you get completely new hubs then you might be up for 1k or more

S13/180sx supposedly fit ok,
I tried to put on some 15 inch speedy racing fears yesterday that were the right PCD and offset but they didn't clear the brake calipers. so just be careful if ya gonna get 15's from another car. I'm actually gonna be getting some stock s13's to check aswell this weekend. (I need another set of rims for R-comps)

My 17's came off a 180sx and are the perfect offset for my bluey. I think they're a 40 offset from memory.

pintaras and bluebird have and offet of +38. i am pretty sure the 180sx and silvias are the same but none of these wheels will fit the 5 stud pattern 5x114.3mm PCD

answer is no for a straight fit coz of the whole 4 - 5 stud difference, but do the conversion and wheel choice is amazing compared to crap for the 4 stud

no big deal on the wheels imo - ultimately how many sets do you want? just buy the one/two good sets and you're done, plenty of reasonable light ones available.

as for the 4 pot calipers, not exactly a lot of difference. dba for example will happily supply their discs either undrilled (to be done by yourself) or drilled to 4 stud.

As for the four pot calipers not exactly a lot of difference when compairing to what??? I know i would much prefer 4pot calipers than single pot calipers for the simple fact of performance upgrade...not to mention its so much safer in terms of stopping distance and also the fact that if you want more power you need to be able to stop...meaning brake upgrade.

4 pot makes a huge difference i would have thought.

the 4 pot calipers makes a huge difference, not just in braking capabilities but to which wheels you can buy too, reason for this is that the clearances and offset have to be right to get the wheels to clear the calipers, if you were to have 4 pots on a pintara or bluebird and were to try and put an everyday set of wheels on, say 16x7 inch wheels, then the likelyhood that they will clear is low. ask SSS how much trouble he had getting a set of wheels in 4 stud to clear the calipers.

now try to do this with five stud wheel options and you have many more choices as most new 5 stud wheels from japan are made for big brakes and will clear them no problem. this way you dont have the hassle of having to test fit multiple wheel combinations before you end up with the wheel to fit......

i know why i am going 5 stud..... i dont think that it would be an easier decision to say to do it

which is why I'm getting 17's (and lose my sleeper look while I'm at it) , too much hassle finding anything in 15's that'll clear the calipers, I've dissed getting stock s13 rims and am gonna use my current stockies for racing :)

As for upgrades on U13's wheels and brakes, couldn't you go with what s13 owners do to upgrade wheel size and breaks.

I know some people change to a 5 stud pattern, but im sure there must be some high hp s13 using 4 stud with upgraded breaks.

Would a s13 4-5 stud conversion kit work on a u13? Im guessing no as the s13 is RWD and the u13 is ther FWD or AWD. Ill be looking into this eventually as I have plans of puting alot of money into my U13 LX FWD around october this year.

Iv herd of a r32 break conversion done using the 4 stud pattern having the discs redrilled (or you could buy blanks and drill them yourself) and rims fitted with spacers.

I know spacers are illegal but isnt pritty much every mod.

If you tack the spacers to the discs with a welder it makes it legal.

I thought the issue with spacers was how much of the stud bolt was not being used? Not the fact that its not welded or held in by anything. Considering we have a floating rotor setup it would make the legal issue of spacers pretty stuipid.

Ohh well...

I believe the wording is "spacers additional to what was originally on the vehicle are not to be used" but if you weld the spacers to the wheel (or brake disc) they become part of the wheel (or disc) :P

I don't know, never actually tried it, but I'm sure you could depending on how good your argument is.

standard is 38, but anything up to 42 should be fine...
