i forgot that i have one more pair of used 16x7's 4x114.3 +35(i think that's the offset) that i got a few weeks ago but never had tires mounted.

yay, for me. i finally got all my parts and a set of tires mounted and balanced(actually my rear hubs were pressed into the bearings friday and i still have to pick them up). so i'm going to tackle this sometime this week.

sweet! cant wait. snap shots of the process. maybe a how-to for the other guys.

i'm probably the last person that should do a "how to" with anything, lol. but 5-lug converson seems to be pretty straight forward with aftermarket front hubs anyway.

Agreed. Maybe I'll do a little photo write-up about my suspension/wheels/tires/brakes set up. Mostly US parts.

well, i got the fronts done this afternoon. i'm doing the rears tomorrow because i worked last night and haven't slept yet.

i haven't put the dust caps back on because i need to grab some new cotter pins but i'll hopefully have it taken care of tomorrow. look at those teeny, tiny brakes

300zx brakes come later.

not super flush or a good stretch but better than before. i'm probably going to lower the car a bit more though once i get my skid plate back on.

oh i had aftermarket front 5-lug hubs. it was as simple as removing the wheel, brake caliper, rotor, dust cap, cotter pin, 30mm nut, and pulling off the hub. then put everything back on in reverse order with the new 5-lug hub. don't forget to pull this

out of the old bearing and install it with the new one. simple
