changing wheelhubs

Can you exchange the sierra wheelhubs (4x108) for the scorpio wheelhubs (5xsomthing), to fit the sierra housing.
Kosei comes with a new type, the K3, 17x7 weighs app. 7,5 Kg, but not available in 4x108

Cheers,

Arjan

DO NOT... Take this as Gospel.

however, I was chatting at Luego with another customer who had a Viento with Granada hubs.

Evidently the rears were OK, and just bolted on Granny Hubs with the Granny bearing carriers ie he used all of it.

The front is different.
The geometry is simmilar, but NOT the same.
You need to use Sierra Uprights.
The take out the sierra hubs / stub shafts, and get the Granada ones turned down to fit the sierra bearings (Granny front shafts are Bigger than Sierra) This what he told me he had done.

Sounds feasible to me. But dont blame me if you cant get it to work.






1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
