5x100 got a mk3 gti...

i tried looking for 5x100 to 4x100 adaptors as all the good wheels seem to be in 4 stud and could not find any anywhere.
you would have to have them made up professionally.
seen plenty of 4x100 to 5x100 but never the other way round.
think most peoples argument would be that why would anybody want to go from 5 studs down to only 4.

You could always convert your car to 4 stud, I would not risk cheap adaptors.

Or just find wheels that fit.

This is your best bet.

what is required to do this?

VW didn't decide that the GTI/VR6s needed 5 M14 bolts to hold the wheels on instead of 4 M12 bolts, for no reason.

Does anybody else think that downgrading from 5 x M14 bolts to 4 x M12 bolts seems somewhat stupid and could have insurance implications?

I believe the reason they dont make 5 stud down to 4 stud adapters is because it isnt safe, possibly,
Im on the fence that ess three just put up......
