Anyone know where I can get adapters from? Looking to go from 5x100 to 5x114.3 and between 15 and 20mm wide. I know Kyo-ei make them, but cant find a UK company that sells them.

If you mean spacers (although I wasn't aware that you could adapt PCD nor want to) DON'T DO IT, especially 15-20mm ones FFS..!

Dangerous IMHO..!

Will be fitting wider front wings and having the rear arches rolled. Want to fit some wider wheels and tires. Also need the PCD changing as Im going for some Volks T37's and I cant find them in a 5x100 fitment. Hence need the adapters. Then will just have to work out the correct offset and see if they do the wheels in that size.

These are the sort of things I'm after but cant find a UK distributer:

Is this sort of adapter really for road use or just for a cosmetic mock up, seems a little dangerous to me.

Surely it would be better to change the hubs etc and do the job completely as you already doing the wings etc. Just my opinion ~BTW.

Well spotted !

From an engineering point of view I hate them.....

For a show car I doubt the extra load on the wheel bearings will matter.

If not a show car, pick some wheels that you can get in 5x100

IMHO

P.S. Vividracing list 7.5X18 in 5X100 for Volks TE-37

I wouldn't use those
I wouldn't even use small spacers if I could get away with it find some wheels that have the correct PCD and offset or find some hubs that are correct.

You could end up loking like this

If PCD adaptors or spacers are made properly , they are not a problem , it only when you use parts like the crap stuff you get in Halfrauds ect that you run into problems.

saint , try H&R as they make all kinds of proper spacers.

On my E30 M3 rally car I built, I couldn't find any wheels I liked , so I changed to a Subaru wheel , from a 5 x 120 pcd to a 5 x 100 , I also used a ET35 wheel and changed it to a ET 0 with the adaptors I made.
My adaptors were bolted to the hub , using cap head bolts picking up the standard BMW wheel stud holes , and I machined the adaptor to fit press fit wheel studs in on a 5 x 100 Impreza pattern .

The car was very competetive ,and used to its fullest , and didn't cause me any problems whesoever , if they are well made , and made with the right materials , they will be fine.







Cheers Ian

Ps , no I cant make any for you sorry

Thanks Ian, I've been searching for some H&R ones before, but couldn't find the PCD adaption I wanted. I've not emailed them yet though so will try. Car will eventually be used for Time Attack, just love the idea of having some Volk T37's in Bronze on a classic Impreza.
Cheers, Shane.

spacers with conversion of pcd are very common here in japan, cars like skyline gtr r34, subarus, with 15mm to over 20mm. this parts can support over 600hp in excess, so dont worry about safety, as safety is very rigorous here in japan. posting one picture, u can find a lot in yahoo japan, just translate to english. some of them have support in english.

Did you purchase hub adaptors in the end?
