i tried searching but coming up with nothing. i have heard of people doing it, and apparently its easy, but what donor car parts should i be looking for? mostly just looking to do it to open up a few more wheel options.

Surely in the US you could easily convert to the Rossion hubs etc .

I beleive the hubs are early mondeo.
The late mondeo are 5 stud so that's where I'd look first. Not sure if the driveshaft size changed between early and late, or the wheel bearing.
Worth a measure though.

The driveshafts aren't modeo though. I remember being told they are ford cougar..?

I think Hollowpockets may have started to look into Q1 parts to do this

^ do the rear axle splines actually line up with the corvette? i thought i saw someone making "track" axles. probably wouldn't be too hard to have them just respline them differently i guess.

I believe this is the only way:

Remove OEM hub and bearing
Fit new bearing with mondeo 5x108 hub
Use a 30mm spacer/adapter from 5x108 to 5x130
Install a set of Porsche fitment rims (oz, bbs, sparco, made in china....)

I have been interested in this for a while, but the thought of a nice set of Speedline wheels kept me off the hunt for a little bit.. I ended up finding a bit more info from Raiden Performance (www.raidenperformance.com) via an email I send inquiring about hubs and some rubber feet that they had listed on the site.

They sell both the Noble and Rossion hubs, so I asked if they were easily swapped, and what might be involved..

Below is the email portion talking about the hubs..

"There are two options for the 5 stud hubs:

Complete set $790 (hubs and bearings). New bolts for both front rotor hats are $72 (optional).
You will need a machine shop to drill 4 new holes in the existing rotor hats (fronts only) for the 5 stud hubs to fit.

OR

Switch to Alcon floating rotors (come in 4 or 5 stud hubs, fronts only). The kit includes caliper brackets, and discs for $1,950.
You will still need the 5 stud hubs and bearings for this kit."

? Thoughts? Seems a bit high on some of the pricing, but it sounds as if the Rossion hubs are the answer..

As I said I'm developing my own conversion for Porsche hubs brakes and wheels to fit our uprights... If it works then others can copy what I have done and it should be a lot cheaper than converting to Rossian
