Scott TMN Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Okay so I am a complete **** basically lol. Just went to fit my new wheels, only realising they 4 stud.... Man am I displeased with myself lol So just weighing up options, getting them redrilled? Or pcd adaptors? However I have a concern with the adaptors on the front as I believe them to be 15mm spacers also? And am worried about too much poke? Wheels are 9.5j et30, Brembo calipers. Cheers for any help guys I'm a nob I know lol Quote
Pete87 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 If the adapters are 15mm thick with a slightly stretched tyre you will get away with them Quote
Ekona Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Sell and buy new wheels. Ones that fit, preferably 2 Quote
KyleR Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 9.5in et 30 with 15mm spacers will look fine mate, I'd be a bit concerned about the depth of the spacer though, will 15mm minus whatever for the nuts be deep enough to provide enough strength? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 No brainer mate, what Dan has said: Get the proper wheels. Alex. Quote
Scott TMN Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys. Think your right and I shall have to just try and sell them again All fitted in nicely as I needed new tyres allround and these had nearly new mpss too :'( live and learn! Quote
Scott TMN Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 245/40/18 Don't mind dropping a profile allround, but don't think I could get away with 245 on the fronts? So can't even do that? It's gone wrong on so many levels lol Quote
KyleR Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 There are a few running series 40's on here, maybe they'd buy them if they're nearly new. Or keep the tyre for the next rims and have the 2 other as spares once you burn a set up Quote
Scott TMN Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Ha ok that's worth knowing cheers. I may splt tyres and wheels. However I have currently put the lot back up for sale, as I agree that is probably best. Seems such a waste though! Still ruling out pcd adaptors in my head though. With 9.5j front et30, plus and a 15mm spacer/adaptor, I calculate this to stick out 34mm further than stock? I take it this it too far with 245 tyres? Cheers again guys Quote
Ekona Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Dude, seriously, just flog the wheels and get the proper ones. Don't muck around with stuff like this, not when you've just spent all that money on superb tyres. Quote
Scott TMN Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Your right. I shall sell them, may take tyres off and keeps them for now though cheers again for swaying me in the right direction! Quote
