Wheels problem anyone help ?

[spe3nas]

i have a set of BBS Le Mans in repl. in 19 inch
specs are 19x 8,5 ET 35 front
and 19x 8,5 ET 35 in the back
bouth have the same tyres in 215/35/19

The question is, they are in 5x100 and i need 5X112 on my 202
so i need adapters from 5x112 to 5x100 on the wheel
i can buy adapters of 25 mm but will that make my tyres rub on the fenders?
and how much will it make my wheels come out ?
Because the garage said they wont ever fit a 19 inch thats 1°
and that the wheel would come out too far wich is forbidden here in europe thats 2°

Thanks for a quick reaction guys ))))

If I were you, I would sell that wheels and buy one with 5x112 bolt pattern. Those replicas are easy to find

This link contains another link with a very good calculation too for offsets, wheel widths, upgrading sizes.

you can reuse those tires. unmount and mount will run you max $20 a wheel.

Heres something you can do,


Just have to drill 1/2" holes with the desired bolt pattern (5x114.3 in this case), have the back of the hub machined flat for the stud head to sit flat, buy some ARP corvette race studs, and enjoy.

Here is the exact ARP race studs.

Add hub centric rings to center your wheels

Pretty sure if you do that stud conversion you will also need new rear bearings as you cant get that hub out without busting them.

[202brabus]

The machine shop will take care of that with a press, its always a good idea to use new bearings instead of pressing in the same old ones.

[Pagz]

Is it actually possible to remove the rear bearings without poping the guts out of the outer one?

[202brabus]

Yep, It requires a heavy duty press though. Machine shop charges less than a regular shop to do it (bearing pressing)

[Pagz]

Ah of course if you press the centre of the inner bearing,its outer would press the outer outer out...^^ not sure why i didnt do that 6 years ago when we did,i think i tried to press the hub out only(not the bearing centre) which destroyed the outer bearing.

[eundaddy]

a stud conversion will save you lots and lots of headache when you swap wheels.

hey you couldnt use your old acc "23k"?

[Pagz]

hey,yes i could but thought it was time to get away from that given i no longer have a 2.3 or kompressor (+ most of my other forum names are pagz too.)
