760 hubs on 360

360beast · Apr 14th, 2012, 13:38

Is it possible to fit 760/740 hubs onto a 360?
I'm after virgo wheels (found some for NZ $195) for my 360 but they're 5 stud and the 360 is 4 stud.

I'm considering selling my alloy wheels of my volvo 340, they aren't new but nothing that a refurbishment would'n resolve...
They are like these...

Hi thanks for the offer but those are the ones I have on mine.

tHEoNE23 · Apr 17th, 2012, 22:43

I have some of these too...

They are now the back ups...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VIRGOS
I would love them but I need to know if I can get the 740/760 hubs in first to get the 5 stud pattern.

It's not going to be a remotely trivial job (i.e. if you're asking...!), but it's one I'd like to do, as the 300 series bearings are undersized for the job.

What about fitting "Leo" alloys from a mk2 GLT? They look very much like Virgos.

cheers

Just a thought but how thick would stud adaptor plates be.I know you can go from four to five stud and nearly any combination.Very expensive but if it's what you want it's just money Lol.

@Minesa240x3
Unfortunately the only ones I can find I have to specially order and are $300 for a pair and they're made in China, so staying away from them.

The hubs and bearing design are quite different between the 700/900 and 300s.

300 = tapered roller bearing, flat tracks, bolt holds 2 opposite tapered bearings together, very low torque. Adjustable for wear.

700/900 = Ball bearings in curved tracks, bolt holds in the inner track with enormous torque, no adjustment.

Not interchangeable AFAIK, and even if they fitted, the bolt on the 360 stub could not take the torque required and would not be safe.
