6UL on 4x100. They”re worth the trouble.

No 4x100 on my car but that is the weight I desire. Thank you Jeffrey 🥰

I looked long and hard and couldn’t find anything within a couple of pounds of the 6UL in 4x108.

 

[MRX330]

What are they like 13lbs?

 

[MRX330]

Btw to go 4x100 is it redrillng or can 4x100 be swapped out?

Just shy of 15

Gotta drill. You can press the studs in and out between 100 and 108 (easy) if you want to swap for winter tires or just get another set of 4x100 wheels as they’re pretty cheap and plentiful in the aftermarket. There are adaptors but you’ll lose most of the weight savings with a 3/4” hunk of aluminum and twice the studs.

I did a write up a couple of years ago. Search 4x100 conversion, I think.

The other advantage with the 6ULs are that they are designed to clear really big calipers. I probably have close to .75” between the spokes and my Wilwoods which barely cleared my stock wheels

We’ll have to go slow 🤞

I’m changing out wheel bearings at some point and may see if Mitch can do this at the same time. Switching to winter wheels is going to suck

Btw if anyone is going to drill their rotors for 4x100 buy a CARBIDE drill!!! Find an industrial supply warehouse like MSC or Grainger

 

[MRX330]

I may not do this and just have Forgeline make me some wheels. Anyone have an extra 5 grand lying around?

I will have a jig for rent soon. After I use it to drill my hubs.
