Default anbody look into doing a 5x114.3mm hub swap?

I have searched, not much luck finding anything, it can be done but at what cost is the key, anything can be done with determination and money

Thanks
Rick

Adaptors are ok for general use but I am building a serious road track car those are not an acceptable option, sure would be easy if they were ok!

They may of been used at some point by somebody but I have never noted a race car using adaptors, probably against the rules even.

Of course I could be wrong, I learn new things every day and I have been modding imports for 40 years now so if somebody can show me serious race cars using adaptors I would actually love to know about it

Are there any old Toyotas running that bolt pattern? Celicas possibly? I don't know.

the new camery is 5x114.3 you could probably swap the hubs and brakes over. im sure it would cost a bit but worth it in the end.
pretty much unlimited wheel choices too

The Camry is the primary car to look at most definately, I will be surprised if an easy swap but sure would be nice it if is!

I was just hoping after all this time somebody had already done so.

I swapped my highly modded Forester to that size and ran 18x9.5 Enkei NTO-3 for the track and 10.5 for autocross
