Lightweight Rims 4x108

[vr2turbo]

So now we have established that my stock rims offset is +34mm and i still have 20mm of gap to the fender, so i need to look for rims with +14mm offset in order for the rims to be flushed with the fender?? Correct ah?

Yup....

Got rims with this type of offset meh? Because most of the rims i see, is all like 30 plus or 40 plus.......Never see such a small figure before....

Got zero and minus even, but probably not with your PCD......

Or wallet =p

All the rims i see is like big numbers. 30-40. I never come across 14 or close to this figure

Well......At this rate, i think using an adaptor seems to be the option that is shining....Hahahahahah

Use adaptor and change PCD to 114.3 or 100, plenty of rim choices....

His is 5 lug. So if 5 lug go for 114.3 la. way more choice.

 

[KenDiriwan]

Yup, imo 114.3 more choice than 100.

I think marv3 is using 4x108, so 4 lugs right?

If use adaptor you can change your lugs to 4 or 5 lugs, then either 4 or 5 lugs they have rims 8 and 10 holes mah!.....plenty of choices.....lol

Can meh??? I thought the adaptor is only meant to change your PCD. But the lugs remain the same?? I was told by a rim shop. Say cannot change from 4 lugs to 5 lugs wor....

Can somebody please verify?

Can one, see the machine shop skill loh!

Any good machine shop you will recommend?

 

[ken yeang]

good and cheap as well...

 

[vr2turbo]

Most machine shop should be ok. Just whether they willing to do or not only.
Even my suspension the mounting at the bottom was smaller, so mechanic ask machine shop to machine 2 pcs metal cup washer to fill up the gap

Would such spacer causes vibration when the car driven?? The spacing of nut holes don't look spaced-out correctly....

Because it is a 4 to 5 lugs hole conversion....

Confirm they got do? Are they good?

I know they repair rims but not sure of the adaptor that is why I also asking....

 

[Izso]

Oh.. 4 x 108 ah ?

ok ok... Personally if you're gonna convert, stick back with 4. Putting 5 might put some strain on the lugs later. Unless you change the knuckle, hub, everything to a 5 lug design. But if you're gonna do that you're better off getting it right the first time and skip the adapter.

Personally I don't like adapters, you'll never know how good is the workmanship and because of discrepancies you'll have to compensate with other things. Kinda like my brakes. I hate all these spacers and all. If I had the money I'd go for 2 piece rotors and get a custom hat made so I can throw away all the spacers

 

[vr2turbo]

Agree, with 4 to 5 lugs conversion the spacing is uneven. And also the adapter add a lot of offset, unlike spacers can be very thin. Adapter need to have the lug nut to hold the adapter in place, therefore is much thicker.
Another thing is whether the machine shop able to machine the center cone spacing together. If not, vibration issue may happen.

 

[Izso]

vibration will be the least of your worries. And the worst thing is - adaptors 100% good but the hub itself and all is crooked. Kinda defeats the purpose.
