Super 5 stud conversion...

Hello all,
Investigating rolling stock options for project ChristPuncher, Rex's budget JZZ10 dedicated slide slut. As many of you boneheads know the MZ10 is 4 x 114.3
Pretty much have Rex's mind set on 17 x 8 and 17 x 10 steelies in 0 offest. Couple of reasons being tyre cost is actually far better/more common at his workplace and 17 inch mega-dish matt black steelies will look RAD!
Problem is though that Rex's local steelie manufacturer can do a maximum of 16inches in 4 x 114.3 without going for custom centres. 5 x 114.3 in 17's is no problem
So what He wishes to know, is if there is a 5 stud conversion based on common, cheap, u-pull-it type parts.
Crown hubs will likely do it for the front, but back?....
Cheers you lot.
Super Rex

Look for the MA61 5-stud conversion stuff. It is identical for a Z1 Soarer.

Peewee wishes to inform Rex that if he chooses to run those tyre sizes, he better be handy with the metal scissors.

Norbie agrees, and issues a riceboy yellow flag to Rex.

Gianttomato issues Super Rex a red card for not looking at the never ending "MA61 5 stud conversion" thread.

Ooooohhhh, that's a bit harsh.
Better deal would be to issue Rex with a second Yellow Card and a final warning !!

Okely Dokely,
Ahhh Haaaa, Cheers morons er,.... Lads
So it goes like this (hush hush...)
- MS65 front hubs, straight on.
- MS123 rear hubs pressed onto MZ10 rear.
Rex not even know thet A6 was equivalent to Z1.
You all have a special place in Rex's black, black heart.
Unfortunately steelies have turned out to be a no go, so 5 stud is a definite to get some decent wheels. Probably even with 30mm bolt-on spacers for guard fillage (keep them yellow cards coming, might even paint it flake pink with giant bodykit too ) Guard cuttage little worry, Rex get the roller out or the snips and some sheet carbon flares.
MR 1GGTE, Delete your post and stay out of Rex's thread!
Everyone else may stay.
Super Rex

Mr Shin reminds Gianttomato that AU wheels have a bugger of an offset, although they might well be alright with Rex's spacers.
Perhaps Rex would even check out Territory wheels? They may fit the bill...

Rex seems like conversing with said self muchly.
Hiccup, one minor though, there is with MS123 rears (oh dear, that's Yoda coming out).
Need to keep the Z1 inner flange, one does, as different MS123 it is.
Bachmann a solution he has re the bolt on spacer, for the rear.
Feel free for Rex to call and discuss in the third person.
