5X100 to 5X114.3 15mm adaptors
« on: 10 May 2009, 13:47 »
I need these adaptors for my mk3 golf vr6 to fit these wheels on
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190305142966&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching

i have to have 15mm adapters or the offset will be brought down to much, unless id get away with ot 23 with 20mm adapters.
Right i have found a few sites overseas bt just wondering wheather
these would do the job.

My only problem is that they do not give a bore size on these adapters.
Any help is much appreciated guys.

You will get away easy with a final et of 23 on a 7j rim if you run something like a 175-185 tyre. I would go for 20mm.

I may be wrong but those adapters look like they fit 5x100 to 5x114.3 hub. you need the other way round!

Because i want decent bbs rm or rs alloys and because of the sh!tty pcd on a vr6 you cant get any that actually fit without having custom made adapters. What were they thinking when they made the mk3 vr6 into a 5 stud fitment. thingys!lol
Rant over.........sorry about that.

There are hundreds of wheels that fit 5x100 out there and I'm sure most if not all BBS wheels come in that fitment!

I mean I run 15mm spacers but I wouldnt run on adapters! No way!
