Okay gearheads...I have trivia question...Isthere an automobile out there that has a 5x4.5 bolt pattern and disc diameter of 10-10.1 inches? We need those dimensions for a brake rotor swap to fit 13 inch wheels on a non-nissan.

I bet theres a jeep out there that uses brakes just that size. Try late 70's early 80's, anything that used a Dana-30 front axle except the CJs. The CJs used 5x5.5 I believe and I know used a 10" or so rotor, but I think everything else used a 5x4.5, not sure about rotor sizes though. I know the newer cherokees had a 5x4.5 but use a 11", I bet one of the older ones used a 10".

4.5" is 114.3mm right? That's the bolt pattern for Eclipses and Talons. I think my Eclispe has a 10ish inch rotor I'll go check for you right now.

Edit: Yep, 1st gen Eclipse non-AWD rotors should work. Mine are just a touch over 10". Also, 93+ Ford Probe, Mazda 626 and MX6 rotors are 5X114 and should be ~10"

In fact if you want, I'll *give* you my spare Eclipse rotors. Just pay shipping. They have been turned and stored for a while. They'll never go back on the car and I'll likely just throw them away before I move.

PM me if interested.
