well your only options are
1 give them back
2 buy adaptors.

if hes said he will give you some money towards adaptors and you want them then just take him up on his good will gesture.

I understand what you mean. But ive been looking forward to getting LM's for ages, like a little kid at christmas. H'es adamant that the wheels are 5x100, he's even contacted the previous owner of the car who said they're 5x100 to. But they're printed 5x112 on the back. I hope im being really stupid. But ive fitted so many wheels in the past i just can see it!

He said he didnt have adaptors on his car, so how could they fit? Reckon he could of changed the hubs? Seems a bit pointless though tbh.

I think ill take him up on his offer, anyone know some majorly cheap adaptors?

im no expert, only have my winter alloys and summer alloys, but on both of them ive never seen the PCD written on it anywere, could just be something else, highly doubt it but never know. as for adapters best place is ebay that ive seen

pcd is on the back of the wheels along with ET and such. i would say my cars wrong, but i have montreals on it, and furthermore the lm's dont say 5x100. ah dear, back to the drawing board!

f**king sign up now!

£80 picked up for all 4 adaptors, and the guy is throwing in 2x5mm spacers. He has lost one bolt however. I'm pretty sure adaptors just come in a standard size, so you will have to have a play with spacers etc.

If you buy these I want commission for finding them :grin:

They don't look that big, maybe 20mm tops. A bolt will be easy to source I'd imagine, just buy another set of 4 then you have some spare...Make up a crazy username  :shocked:!!

I'll accept that sample with open arms  :smiley:
