GK discs and GK brake caliper, the caliper it's "plug and play", but the GK it's 5X114.3 so i have done 4x114.3 like you can see in my photo


So the calipers are plug and play and the discs need some kind of adjustment since its a 5-lug and ours are 4-lug.
Or you could look for a disc that is 4-lug?

Did you modifly the 5-lug disc to 4-lug? How? Engineering?

Wouldn't the Kia Spectra rotor work fine? 4 lug, 11 (I think) inch rotor, works perfectly with the XG350 BBK, so it should work perfect here too with no modification I believe.
