Hey. I've bought some spacers for my golf cab 4 stud. They are 30mm front and 35mm back. They are spacers and adapters so I can have 5 stud alloys. They have bolts with them that attach them to the car and u presume that the bolts that come with the alloys will fit the wheel to the spacer but one of the holes goes straight through the spacer. So, I need a stud for each wheel that is long enough to go through the alloy, the spacer and the hub of the car. I'm clueless as to what I need but I'm guessing the back will have to be bigger because of the 5mm difference in the spacer. Can anyone help me and give me some links to buying them? Cheers

sounds to me like you just have a set of 4x100 to 5x100 adaptors.
the adaptors will bolt to the hubs using normally allen key bolts. and then you wheels will bolt to the adaptors.
iv never head of adaptors having to bolt through the adaptor onto the hub :undecided:

Hi. The adapters only have three bolts supplied with them because the fourth uses the same hole as the fifth bolt from the new wheels, so, I need the bolt to go from wheel to hub through the adapter/spacer. It's baffling my brain man!!!!!

Oh right I see. Strange. Maybe that is how the 4x100 to 5x100 adaptors work then? Iv only ever used VW to Porsche adaptors wich are diferant so my noledge of them isn't very good. I always assumed they worked the same way.

There wouldn't be room for all 9 holes I guess so they share one hole? I don't know, sounds strange!
