Default Fit WRX wheels to Brumby

Hi there,
I'd like to fit WRX wheels (5 stud) to my Brumby ( 4 stud).
Anyone know : Can i buy 5 stud hubs that bolt straight on ?
: Can i buy adaptor plates that bolt to my hubs, then have a 5 stud application ?
: I already have hybrid discs all round so don't really want the expense of a full WRX brake conversion.

Thanks

brumby is 4x140, wrx is 5x100 floating discs,

anything is possible, but you will need access to a mill and likley a lathe to machine the area in prep for the wheel studs/

Dropping a full STi engine and driveline in will negate the hub issue.

I'm sure it will create a few others but the couple I have seen were rather awesome.

Please explain ?


I already have EJ 20 turbo motor, STI box, and 4.4 diffs.

Brakes on the front are WRX with Brumby drive shafts and hubs.
On the back is Laser TX 3 discs, again with Brumby drive shafts and hubs....hence my desire to swap/ adapt the hubs to fit the 5 stud WRX wheels.

Have seen a couple of Brumbies fitted with the complete engine, driveline, shafts and hubs out of an STi. Think struts to but not certain on that. Might as well put coil overs in the thing either way.

Mildly ( well maybe not so ) moded with the large weight reduction from and STi to the Brumby and you would have one dam fun little rocket. Lot of work though.

best way to do this is get a crossbred kit- a dude on ausubaru.com makes em. get complete EJ hubs on your brumby.
