Before anyone tells me to look at the alloys fitment page, i know what size i need.

Im looking at a set of wheels that are the Correct offset, size and width. The only problem is the PCD is 4-100 instead of 4-108.

Is it possible to change this?

No Matey, you would have to re-drill the holes in the wheels or use an adaptor plate but both are very expensive

I thought they could be machined to a different size, or is that something else im thinking of?

Senars on Cleveland Street used to do them but i'm not sure how much it'll cost but it won't be cheap!

It would be cheaper just to by the wheels again in the correct fitment

You could use these but costs are approx £200 for the set



E-Bay Link..........

Also check the thickness of them *******s. Youd have to get a higher offset wheel to correct that difference in width,epsecially on a KA. Speaking of converters,hows the tranny goin?

Mind reqader, i have just e-mailed the bloke and enquired about them to get 18"'s on it maybe ??

I've never heard of it being done before Ben, you got your eyes on some wheels have you?

Well done brain surgeon!

They don't make them in ford fitment anymore, thats why i asked.
Theyre mainly used on german cars such as VW's. Due to lack of demand, they ceased production of the ford fitment alloys and theyre as rare as rocking horse poo now.

Nice one Jay, will have a gander at those hub converters.

Here's a site that can do this for you for a lot less (I think) www.trackstore.co.uk

Here's the direct page for the conversion spacers

If you can't find anything there then let me know.

What car are they off?

Theyre VW fitment. Theyre the right offset, width, size and they come with the right tyres, but its the PCD thats wrong.

I'll steer clear of those hub converters. They'll space the wheels out way too far. Cheers anyway Dave.

I think I saw them on here, I'm not sure, but you can buy nuts that are 'wobbly' - meaning, you have the thread, a flexible part, and then the head, the thread 'bends' and goes into the hole and you can tighten them up safely. Works for large or smaller PCD's.
I'm pretty sure I didn't dream it...

You didnt dream it they do exist, try Motorworld for them.

I wouldnt touch them with a bargepole, I know what they are and I am not convinced they are 100% safe

Same here, something as important as a wheel nut being described as "wobbly" doesnt fill me with much confidence :rolleyes:

They are only designed to alter the PCD by approx 2mm.

Not a safe option though

rondal turbo wheels??? if theytheres a lad with a set in bolton that are ford fitment but 1 wheel is buggered

thems the ones! Im gonna add you to my msn

how much are the vw fitment ones

think they went for about 450, not too sure
