    Hey everyone,
    I don't like selling parts to people for conversions/swaps without knowing all the info and details I possibly can. So what better way to learn than from someone who has done it before.

    If anyone here has swapped their lgt over to 5x14 knuckles/hubs could you please educate us all on what model years you used and what was all involved?

    This is the only thread I have found and it talks about using 08+ sti fronts and then tribecca rears which I have never heard of doing (at least 08+ specific).

    I know there are a lot of LGT owners on here so I figured this was a good place to ask :)
    Thanks!

    From what I've read, there is not a bolt on/swap that would work for the rears at the moment. Someone will must likely have to make a custom fabrication.

    Why would you like to convert this? People usually change to use more aggressive wheels, but the legacy is really limited with what will fit.

    Customer has a set of 5x114 bbs and would like to be able to run them. 5x100 bbs especially in gold are pretty hard to come by (especially a set for decent price) so I guess I understand that aspect.
    Either way, It sparked my interest since not many have done it and figured I would try getting some info for the customer :)

    If that is all that he wants.

    This is the cheaper route.

    Ya I threw that option at him as well. But just got off the phone with him and the conversion is off. Someone happened to have a spare set of 5x100 for him.

    But another question, have you seen an lgt with a roof vane spoiler? I assume it would have to be an aftermarket one because I don't see the sti spoiler fitting the lgt.
    There is always something out there to stump ya ;)
