Just seem some alloys on edition 38 that have been redrilled from 4 to 5 stud. Two of the holes are untouched the other 3 cross over and are then filled. I can't see alot of info on this subject so was wondering is it safe?
-
Go on www.wheel-whores.com , there's a section that mentions all about this topic!! :wink:
-
Why bother, lot more choice in 4x100 than 5x100 or just use adaptors.
-
my cars running 5x100 and you can't get 4x100 to 5x100 adapters. choice of 5 stud wheels is also pretty poor
-
can you not go back to 4 x 100 ???
-
can but means changing drive shafts, hubs, wishbones, calipers, anti roll bar etc. bit of a mish. Ill find some alloys somewhere i like
-
Didn't realise there was a shortage of decent styles in 5x100. I was considering changing to 5x100 from my mk3 to utilise the bigger brakes on my mk2. So would you say stick with the 4x100 256mm?
Have you tried having a skek @ http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/? Gives you fair amount of info even if you don't buy from them.
-
just have to change hubs, caliper carriers and disks iirc
-
All the wheels ive seen that im wanting recently have been popping up in 5x100!

Try seeing whats available for Jap cars...I know imprezas have the same PCD, the rest (centre bore, offset etc) can all be sorted by an engineering shop... :smiley:

chris-white that second set are the ones that have been modded from 4x100 to 5x100. i also think 17's are to big. 16's at a push maybe

4-5 stud bearing calipers have the ball joint fixing further forward/back, wheel end up non-central in the arch if you missmatch wishbone/bearing carrier. so wishbones may need to be fitted, possiby a different anti-roll bar depending on which bones are fitted, outer c/vs at least or shafts & track rods if track is changed etc.

im going to stick with the 5 stud less messing about
