swapping my late rear hubs to early sets....?

Post  aixgelo78 on Mon Dec 19, 2011 7:51 pm

Im trying to have more choices of rears wheels. I do not mind using spacers if needed. So Im trying to figure out what is needed to replace my rear late model hubs to something from 86 maybe. Any thoughts, issues or concerns?

TIA
Chris

I swapped early model rear hubs into Rogue S2's 944 and it was just time consuming.

Eric, what do I need? hubs, bearings, axle stubs, rotors? is that it? or the rear brake assembly as well? Im assuming, I can only use 85.5 to 86 only?

TIA

Eric,


What did you do with ABS? Did you still keep it or get rid of it? If you kept it, how did you do that?

I don't remember what all he brought, I know we changed bearing, Just cause it needed them. Also used the early hub and rotor. I don't recall having to change the Brakes. Rotor stays in the same location, only the wheel mounting surface moves.

Swapping my late rear hubs to early sets...

Post  ROGUE S2 on Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:22 pm

I went with some 18" 996 turbo twist rims. on my '91 S2. To do that we used '86 hubs. Eric at TPC installed new bearings and rotors. the '86 hubs allowed my rims to sit further in the wheel well. I had to purchase some HHR hub centric wheel spacers and lugs to get them spaced out correctly. It took some time and $, but the 285/30/18 GY Eagles work fantastic.

Post  hickmaster2001 on Tue Oct 20, 2015 11:02 pm

Looking to use the same wheel setup and wondered if anyone remembers the details on the spacers used. Thanks!

This is what we had to do to get the factory PCCB rear hats/rotors on a late car so the factory E- brake remained functional and the ABS ring is on the inner stub axle, so it remains....

I just checked my build notes and switching over to the Early outer hubs on a Late car sets the hub inwards 29.00 mm.
