Is there really a need for a 5 lug? im thinking of getting wheels soon, but dont know if i need to go 5 lug. dont want to buy wheels twice, so 4 ok? os save up and get 5? found out that a big brake kit and 5 lug runs about a grand installed

everything you would need is available in 4 lug, everything you want is more than likely going to be 5...There is a much greater selection of wheels for 5 lug than there are for 4. And most of the aggressive offsets will be easier to find with 5, but it really doesn't matter all that much...

5 lugs would probably hold more power, than 4. if you did a crazy build. but like that fella said more wheels are in 5 lug

its just the owner.. i like 5 lug, but im keeping 4 lug.. i had 5 lug and went back to 4... and you can always run Z brakes with 4 lug

5 lug if your going to play with it plan on bigger brakes. 4 lug it if it's going to be a daily driver.
Its really up to the owner. I put 5lug on my hatch, but, that was because I got a hell of a deal on Z brakes. But, I also like runningg factory wheels compared to aftermarket, and all of the nice size Nissan wheels are 5lug

If that where the case people would run 18lug.

i just think 5 is better than 4, youd break 4 before you would 5.

Hell most trucks have 6 lugs, Vipers have 6 lugs. Medium Duty stuff all is 8 lug

I prefer the 8 lug conversion, personally. With that setup, I should be able to run the Ford Excursion big brake kit.

cheap 5 lugs are easier to come by. You can snatch a set off of most toyota or ford cars. great way to have several track sets on the cheap, and a good variety that will support the sizes you need. Plus, Z33 wheels are baller on S13s.
