hey guys
wanting to do a brake upgrade on my ute. Currently have stanza struts, discs and rotors. I have a hilux diff which are a five stud pattern. The problem i face is that my fronts are four stud, and i can not put any bigger than a 13" wheel on it for the fact of hitting the fricken strut. So fustrating, so if anyone has any advise for me it sould be much appreciated.

15 inch trx rims will fit, 15 inch skyline ti rims will fit, 15 inch white many spoked boof wheels will fit

so you want to change the stud pattern? upgrade brakes? get more wheel clearance?

yeah pretty much.
its running a spacer at the moment and without it, it already hits the strut (with 13"rims). giving me the ####s really. and yes i wanna change it to same stud pattern as the rears and upgrade the brakes at the same time if u catch my drift. im pretty sure my hilux diff is a ford stud pattern.... not 100% though... what do u reckon. hoppers stoppers?

if you have the spare cash hoppers stoppers would be the easiest way to go

i personally havnt got into the whole 5 stud conversion yet, i should though as alot of people want to do it
could have a look around on datnet and see what the 1600 guys do in regards to 5 stud conversions.....should be a few that have done it i would think
