anyone ever figured out a way to convert the 4x110 l200 mira to something like 4x114.3? wanna run steezy wheels and cant find anything in 110 ahah, cheers guys
Plenty of info here on stud conversions. Easiest by far is 4x100pcd. L500 drums are a bolt on. Front L500 control arms bolt on and use the hub and struts. Gives you better brakes (you could used M100 hubs and struts for better brakes again or best is Copen - but you still need L500 control arms). You’ll get one std drive shaft to fit but will need the other side lengthened.
As @Mr_Gormsby has stated Yes and there is info on here and also 4x100 is much easier as Mr G has stated also.
I have a done both but for the rear I used spacer’s/stud converters as it was a track car and I needed wider track in the rear to match the extra track I had in the front with the 4x114.3 conversion. Pretty sure I have some details in the build thread.
FYI, L500’s still use 4x110. to convert over to 4x100 you need mostly L700 or copen parts As well as both custom axles as L700 passenger axles bottom out in the cv cup.
It’s easy enough to convert to 4x114.3 As I have done that as well, though it’s not worthwhile.
With the track width difference in the front on L700 LCA’s most 4x114.3 wheels won’t fit without extensive flares or guard work. I’m talking about 30-50mm poke with even a 6" wide wheel depending on the offset.
Lots of “poke” will have a poor effect on scrub radius and sort of increases the wheelbase on the outer side of a car in a turn and decreases the wheelbase on the other side. Can be felt if you are tuned into it esp since it makes the steering feel different/wrong compared to zero scrub. 6" wide gets hard to fit under the guards. I sort of had 7" worked out for a 15" wheel but the back was tubbed and front req pumping the guard out from the top so as not to have it look like a flare.
Yeah I know what you mean, I barely have my 14x6+45 fit and they still scrub a bit. Though they do fit with zero poke on unflared front guards. I’m looking to find some OEM enkei rims that are 5.5" wide to fix most of the complaints I have with handling.
