S14 frontwheel hubs on S13

[jesper200sx]

Hello good :sxoc: people

I know some people have changed their S13 wheels hubs to S14 hubs to get the 5 stud conversion. Is it true that the S14 frontwheel hubs are NOT a straight fit on the S13???
I have read some places that you need complete frontspindle and lower control arm from the S14 to make it fit on the S13 because the S14 has got a 32mm spindle and the S13 a 30mm.
Is it possible to take the S14 frontwheel hubs and fit them with S13 frontwheel bearings or does the bearings have different dimesions???
I know it´s much easier to buy the S13 5 stud conversion kits but I am looking to do the 5 stud conversion as cheap as possible.

Thanks.

as you suspect.. the s13 hub spindle is much smaller

im running an s14 hub upright with an s14 lower arm and made spacer sleeves for the strut bolts to go through.
If you use an s14 lower arm you will have to re track your steering since the s14 lower arms are longer the s13

To save hassle can you not just use the full s14 hub and flange assembly and use an s14 lower arm

im using S14 hubs with S14 balljoints in my S13 lower arms with sleeves as jod has mentioned for the strut holes.

as martin said the hub spindle or stub axle is not the same dimensions so the s14 wheel bearing wont work
