Rx7 to mx5 wheel hub

Postby red devil » Thu Apr 28, 2011 8:17 pm

Does anyone know if rx7 hubs would fit on an mx5?
I dont care that my laces aren't fat or that I'm not even close to flush and I certainly don't want to be the illest!

Cheers sailor,

It looks like it is very possible with FD hubs :D
the spindle needs to be slightly ground down for the hub to fit length wise and a small spacer made to fit over the spindle shaft for a snug fit for the bearing

Hmmmmmm just a little food for thought, it doesnt seem to all that complicated and the new range of wheels that can be fitted would be awesome

nice :P
