6 lug vs 8 lug

[tom]

Which is easier and cheaper. Converting a 6 lug 10 bolt front to 8 lug, or converting an 8 lug FF14 to 6 lug?

Converting a 10bolt 6 lug to 8 lug. All the parts are bolt on. The 14 bolt conversion takes custom work. If you need to know what to look for just ask.

If you can do the machine work yourself then converting a 14 FF would be cheaper since all you need is new bolts for the cover, and new wheel studs.

To have your 14 bolt converted to 6 lug is about $400 .Cheaper if ya can do it your self.To convert the front from 6-8 or 8-6 lug is in the 2-$250 range for used backing plates,hubs, and rotors.

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to replace the front 6-lug 10 bolt with an 8-lug D44?

Why would you want to do that when both 10 bolts and D44s have 8 lug versions and it might not have the right gears?
