bolt pattern? not typical
Sunday, October 09, 2011 7:50 PM
ok i have a wierd question i know our bolt pattern is 5 x 100. so if you convert it to inches it is 5 x 3.94 so,,,,,,, does this mean that a 5 x 4 rim will fit our cars? im not sure but i have a feeling it will need adaptors? thanx for any replies in advance

our bolt pattern is 5x100. not 5x101 or 5x99. its meant to be specific so that everything is centered and weight is distributed equally. So no other size except 5x100 will fit.

yeah im going to be running some race wheels and the thinnest adapto i can find that is a 5 x 100 to 5 x 4.5 is like $100 for 4 i want my tires to barely stick out of my fenders with a drop of course, and look "wide" i just think it would be really cool

Race wheels? Buying used? Just call up diamond race wheels and see what they can make you in the correct bolt pattern. Any size, offset or bra size you want.

just so you know getting rims with a -2 offset and having to use an adapter is going to bring your wheels WAY past your fenders. The minimum thickness for an adapter spacer is usually 1" or 25mm. That would net you a -27mm offset after all is said and done.
