Muncie Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hey guys due to my latest project involving my 2 deep seated pines triumph cars and holden running gear I'm looking at ways of grafting holden hubs up front preferably with vt or similar brakes and somehow getting 5x120 stud pattern out back too. Plan is to run corvette rims like I had on my Brock replica vk. Got running gear now and after 17 years have got the wagon shell I wanted too off a mate just the coming together bit To do. hoping one of you may have a bearing swap idea etc that would allow a hub swap to be done. Back is no doubt harder than front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim13 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 hq front discs (which are the hubs too) go straight on a triumph 2.5 stub . rears I haven't done but apparently some bmw stuff can work ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Cool that's the kind of info I wanted. the back I knew would be harder a different upgrade would be good a hydratrak commodore ass end would be good but to wide I think.

dr.wylde Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 For the diff a late 90's/00's chev blazer diff could be the go as the are quite narrow and disk braked plus they run a 3.45 ratio And Chevy/HQ stud pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 yeah if you are wanting to run corvette wheels, they are gm pattern (5x4 3/4'') not 5x120.  not much difference but if you are going to do it properly, may as well from the start     yes i know millions of people put them on commodores and they never fall off and someones cousin has one and its sweet as and gets wofs all the time from vtnz etc, so nobody needs to post that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 There's no telling where the offset will end up once you have changed those front hubs though. There was a guy here making new billet front hubs.. I think be best to contact him to make you a pair of custom ones with perfect offset and pcd for your application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Had my suspicions about stud pattern of corvette rims not been metric it was 10 years ago I had Em and don't think I ever had to pull them off the vk either. Nice looking wheel I think will suit the triumph quite well and also be a nod to the gm drivetrain I'll be running. a live axle rear end could work as mucking around with anything independent will be tricky And expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 It'll kick off once I've sorted a new house at moment I have the parts at home the car stashed. Getting Scratchy Waiting To Rip Into It just waiting For Old Car To be picked up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
