Title: Wobble Bolts...
Post by: Sam on 26 December 2011, 12:14
Whats peoples opinions on them, ok for a daily hack? Are they safe? Say taking 5 x 112 to 114.3

I know loads of people with them, no issues at all, I would say they are safer than adaptors.

i run them on my golf and ive never had a problem with them,never came loose or stretched and dont get any wheel wobble :cool:
but they are only designed for 2mm of difference so you would be pushing it on those sizes.

Yer 2 mm per bolt though isn't it? Meaning that they allow for a 4mm difference in total in pcd

No! The 5x112 etc is from the centre bore to centre bolt hole. So each bolt would have to go 2.3

The term PCD stands for (pitch circle diameter) and is the diameter of a circle drawn through the centre of your wheels bolt holes. PCD is measured in millimetres and also indicates the number of studs or bolts the wheel will have.

Don't think so I believe they allow a max 2mm adjustment in total so 4x98 to 4x100 etc.

def 2mm total sam but i have seen plenty of jap wheels on mercs and audis so i suspect they are bending them slightly!

have a look towards the vauxhall end they are 110 although centre bore is usually small unless aftermarket i suppose)
