Nerih 0 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Does anyone know if its plausable (and where to find adapters) for alloys that are 5x112 to 5x100 standard vw mk3? Would i have scrubbing issues?its only lowered 30mm all around but the rears sit quite low when i have passengers. Link to post Share on other sites
pete8tch 0 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 the pcd wont affect the wheels in anyway at all this is just the spacing between the wheel studs , the diameter and offset will tho as well as tyre width. adapters are available commercially i think , lookin a few mag adverts.

purple highline monster 0 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 H&R do some very good adapters as do RH but bolting them on will affect the offset depending on the wheels you want to put on, be carefull as i think dundee dub got his porsche alloys screwed by dodgy adapters they werent made/fitted right!!!!

Nerih 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 do you have adaptors on your RH rims? i have a set of rh zw1's that are 5x112 and i've got a set of adaptors (25mm) coming to the UK, but am unsure if its going to fit or not, i dont know the offset.its 8x17....can anyone help me pleaseee!

purple highline monster 0 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 yeah i got the adapters with the ZW1`s they just bolt straight to the hub (using your original 5x100 bolt holes) and then the alloys bolt straight to the adapter bolt holes making them 5x112, the adapters i got were wide, dunno what measurement they are but they sit inside the recess on the back of the ZW1`s they are wide though prob 25 mm or more maybe?, what make are the ones you ordered? i just ordered my kw highsport kit today so i will let you know what the clerance is like soooooon! looks to be plenty of room if i only go 40-50 on the front and 30-40 on the rear! at least if you got the wheels you could order them straight from RH ? or try getting the original rh ones of a guy called ingo knarr (german guy that speaks perfect english) at www.tunershop.co.uk where i got my RH rims from. !lol Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 mine are RH ZW1, but i dont know what make the adaptors are, all i made sure was that they were TUV approved. Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 they will probably be fine, as long as they make the right offset it will be cool, if the offset is wrong you will have a clearance problem either on suspension side or arch side, so be cautious when you fit them up and check the clearance while the cars still in the air, if any obvious problems you should see them before any damage occurs, once you have done it our cars will be twins mate!!!!

purple highline monster 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 the off set on the ZW1`S is et60 so the adapters must be 2.5cm which drops the et to 35, simple innit!! Link to post Share on other sites
