Hey guys ive done a little bit of research and was wondering if its at all possible to do a hub conversion on a 240. Im desperate to put some 4 stud wheels on the old girl but not sure if its possible?
240 4 stud conversion
Adapter's
jlfentsAdapter's
i thought they werent legal?
Custom machined hubs for front like these 5x114.3 ones that I got
not sure about how to do the rear legit without adapters tho, ke70 rear end? Get all the studs from the axel pushed out and holes welded, machine and drill new 4 stud holes?
Cant legally redrill axles.
Pcd adaptors aren't legal but can be done relatively safely.
What are the wheel specs as that will dictate if you have enough room to run PCD adaptors.
Who said you can’t redrill axles? That’s a new one for me.

you can redrill axles. you can also legally run adapters/spacers, but finding an engineer smart enough to cert it is a nightmare.
i did consider 4x114.3 due to the drift scene wheels available but ill be going commodore stud pattern.

VicRoads are pretty clear on no redrills or spacers, I would argue that you need to find an engineer careless enough to certify it.
Vsb14 is kinda vague on the topic so open to interpretation.

vicroads have nothing to do with what an engineer can do. once its certified and engineered there is nothing they can do. as said an engineer can and should pass them. i know of 3 cars legally on thr road with redrilled axles and another 4 with hub adapters. all crrtified under vsb14
The studs are sized so that if one fails, the remaining studs won't go into yield if at the correct torque and at GVM. Hence any change will have to be certified by an engineer.
I ain't gonna argue with you about it, plenty of cars have been certified with it, depending if the engineer knows/cares, doubt it's listed specifacally on the cert.
It's not best practice
I can appreciate that if done properly it's relatively safe.
Custom hubs/billet axles are a better solution.
At the end of the day, based on the o.p wanting to put 4atud wheels on a 240, it's cheaper to just buy the right wheels
