5 lug suggestions... what looks good on an NX2000?
So I'm about to starting bringing the NX back to the highways of TX and it needs a complete suspension overhaul, and was figuring out if I should go with a 5 lug setup since it needs new wheel bearings anyways as well as new CV boots. I'd really like to do something different, but not sure if there are any nice 5 lug wheels out there right now that would make me drop some cash just to run those wheels. I plan on running 17s on the car daily and then track only 15s. It will be boosted as well. I've done front wheel bearings before, but the cost was about the same as getting newer spindles. So should I go 5 lug or go with 4x114.3? I have a 17x9.5 inch wheel in my garage right now that I test fit on my old G20, stuck out too far, but found a machine shop that can reduce the backspacing to my liking, and yes I'll be running bubble flairs one day.

NX and the SE-R are both b13. Same thing as you would a Sentra

Most people are redrilling b15 spindles, for the front.

Yep, redrilling B15 front hubs and brake rotors, and then using maxima rear wheel hub assembly and ordering the kit from uni when I can. I think I'm going to run some 350Z 17x8 wheels, the offsets are pretty much dead on with what fits with a little roll front and rear. Other wheel might be a set of Evo wheels. I have some drift friends that have a bunch of spare OE wheels from various manufacturers for me to test fit etc. Tires will have to be 235/40/17

...I've been around too many drifters and wheel whores... nothing is too big, there is always a way to fit it. 17x8... I'll make it work. Contacted a local guy who is parting his sentra, front spindle setups next week and drilling them.

i like where this is going... id say go 5 lug and not bother with 4x114.3, alot of the nicer wheels are 5 lug, most newer 4 lug wheels are now in honda/higher offsets and harder to find if you dont know where to look.
