Wow, thought it was the same as the Beretta. Looks like I won't be doing the swap.

This upgrade will require you to have dual bolt pattern wheels, as doing this upgrade will change your wheel pattern in the front to 5x115.
15" for the stock N-body stuff and 16" for the f-body stuff.Wanako wrote:what's the smallest diameter wheel you can use if you use stock n-body calipers and rotors instead?
hehe ultra-sweet. I just wanted to know because if I ever do something like this, I want to keep some kind of 15" wheel on my car. My car is known for rockin' 15's.99GaGT3X00 wrote:15" for the stock N-body stuff and 16" for the f-body stuff.Wanako wrote:what's the smallest diameter wheel you can use if you use stock n-body calipers and rotors instead?
Yes it will. I'll be using this when I finally finish my setup. I got my new reman calipers so I just need to paint them before going in... but that's waiting till I get the trans all straightened out.Wanako wrote: Either way, stock N-body hardware will still be a great improvement over whatever the L-body stuff can dish out. I suppose.
Thanks for the info, dude.
Likewise. I'm on the 87-91 setup and those are terrible. Makes my 15's look big. Also, Heavywoody mentioned on his post that an "Adapter Sleeve" could be made to retain the 5x100 bolt pattern so there would be no need to swtich the hubs and axle ends. How would something like this look like? Anyone have an idea? It would be ideal, so I can keep my current wheels. I love my 15's if couldn't tell. I hope to have this setup and the Neon rear disks, which will fill up my 15's quite nicely.Cliff8928 wrote:Even my stock N-Body replacement pads and rotors from AutoZone are worlds better than the same on the original brake setup (mind you, I was coming from the smaller 87-91 ones)
I would recommend a Subaru disc setup. 5x100 and will take some customization, but it may not fit 15" wheels. I tested my winter 16s and it was close.Wanako wrote:Likewise.
