    Discs on the rear are four stud.

    Why not swop to a four stud set-up front & rear?
    Will give better braking and a larger choice of wheels!

    as said by quick.

    rear discs only come on the vtr & vts models and are always four stud.

    as suggested by quick a complete front and rear four stud setup with rear disc conversion would set you back about £150-200 in parts and depending on garage you take to could cost you anywhere between £150-£??? in labour.

    its probably a 3 hour (maybe a bit less) job if you go to a decent mechanic.

    it will give you better breaking and there is a vast amount of wheels to choose from with a four stud setup as apposed to the very small selection and size of wheels available in three stud.

    Hope this helps.
