Exclamation 114.3mm-to-100mm PCD WHEEL ADAPTORS ?!?!

I've seen a set of New Age fitment 18" alloys that I'd really like... but have a Classic.

Can you get 114.3mm-to-100mm PCD adaptors.

If so where from?

Danke.

Only the hawkeye STi is 114ish PCD (and a VERY small number of late blobeyes). The rest of the newage are 100 as per the classic.

Sure, sure.

But the alloys I have my eye on are 114.3mm... so would need an adaptor plate regardless.

Anyone know if such a thing exists and where to get it?

you can get them but they are also 1" wide spacers. I don't think it's a go to be honest, although you can get into buying new hubs and/or redrilling hub flanges and new studs etc etc etc, but really any solution is going to be more expensive than finding 5x100 wheels that you like.

Sure Paul - I thought that would have sort of been the case!

I take it the adaptors/spacers put too much strain in the shafts/bearings under severe load when cornering?

iv also thought about this, i want some rota grid drifts but 114.3 x 5 and 100 x 5 are completely different

so i enquired to rota about getting some in 5 x 100 instead as im not channging my hubs and £2000 worth of brakes..

Pavlo, source a large pile of 114.3mm hubs and you're minted.

LOL
