When doing a 4 to 5 lug conversion and replacing the rear rotors, has anyone had trouble finding a 5 lug rear rotor (that would be for an SE or LE) WITHOUT ABS? It seems everyone I talk to either has the 4 lug base rotors or the SE/LE's w/ABS. So, I called up Qualitee (a company that sells OE replacement rotors made by Brembo) and got dimensions on the 4 lug and 5 lug versions. The difference between the two is that the 5 lug rotors are 1mm taller (when the rotor is laying flat). This means that the rotor "hat" is 1mm taller. On top of that they are 1mm less in diameter, which I'm actually not too worried about. Here were the dimensions I got

4 lug rotor 258 x 9 x 47 (diameter x rotor width x overall height)

5 lug rotor 257 x 9 x 48 (diameter x rotor width x overall height)

Can anyone confirm these dimensions?
Has anyone had any problems?
Do the 5 lug hubs somehow make up the difference in the overall "hat" height?

Thanks to all!

when i did mine i was still working at nissan so i bought a nissan oem rotor for a s14 i didnt have any problems with it at all i bel;eive it was non abs since my s13 doesnt have abs

i cant qoute the dimensions i have the fsm in my room i will look it up to see if it has the rotor sizes on the dimensions and circumfrence

Is there something I'm missing? Pardon my ignorance, but I thought the only practical reason to do the conversion was for rims... Is there something else?

rims is the biggest thing, reason i upgraded is when i swapped my z brakes in the rims i had wouldnt clear the calipers and i was sure the s14 wheels would so thats why i swapped. another reason is you can swap the whole rear brake from a z32 if your 5 lug and use the z32's rear hubs

Oh Ok. That makes sense.
