Is it possible to transplant the front and rear hub assemblies of the GK Tiburon onto a RD? I was thinking of changing to allow for a greater selection of wheels. Plus aftermarket brake setups are easier to find for the GK.
I havent seen the Suspension setup of a GK and the guys at PSC are doubtful that it could be done without some amount of modification and engineering to the Struts, Rack and Driveshafts....
Any attempts known?

if i'm not mistaken, you can use the XG350 hubs... i'm not sure if they're the same as the GK, but i'm pretty certain i've read that it can be done w/ the XG
(XG350 is also known as the Grandeur..... right?? haha)

I just ruined a perfectly good front hub, and I'm having APE motors use it as the basis for the actual conversion kit we're going to sell. So hang tight guys, my ruined hub is all we needed, and we've already been working on this idea for some time.

Do BBKs come with a hub of some sort? I undertand the BBK will bolt on, but we even have Rotora BBKs for RDs. If somehow one of the BBK allowed the use of a 5 lug hub that'd be cool, but what good is two deep dish 5 Lug wheels, if they're only in the front?

hub and rotor anre differant... your hub has the middle piec and the lug studs in it.. your rotor goes over that
a 5x114.3 and 4x114.3 bolt pattern can go from 5-4 bolt pattern by drilling two new holes in your rotor...
so as far as BBK's go you have no reason to convert your hubs to use a BBK from a gk
as far as rims go... 4x114.3 is a VERY common bolt patter, its available on EVERY 4 bolt universal wheel.. as hondas use 4x100 which leaves the other pattern to be 4x114.3 so if its a 8 hole rim chances are it will fit....

I just thought you had some reason to post about the GK BBKs fitting our RDs, when we already have BBKs for us. I understand about the hub and rotor, and hopefully everyone else does as well. As far as our bolt pattern, any wheel from an AE86, or a 4 lug 240SX will fit us. They just dont have that nice new look is all.
I just wish we had the hubs ready to sell. If all you had to swap was the hub, possibly the bearing too, then all nice deep dish wheels would be bolt on, no drilling needed.
