wantone Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 So MC2/MB6 4x114 to EP3/DC5 5x114 hub swap, has anybody done this? Is it even doable? Been looking at getting some different wheels and the selection available for 5x114 is much larger than 4x114.... I have searched but come up with nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I doubt you'd be able to fit DC5/EP3 hubs, especially at the rear as they are totally different setup - hence why you can't find anything. You can fit EK9/DC2 hubs all around which does convert you to 5x114.3 PCD and the larger wheel bearings at the front as I've done it to my MC2. I also switched drive shafts, but I believe you can just switch the outer ends and keep your original shaft. Rear fitting on mine 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the setup to match the DC2 hub, found some old photos while it was fitting it all together, excuse the mess s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
