I was considering buying the 5 bolt wheel adapters for my gsl, the question is ,,if I decide to buy these what should I look for when I purchase rims as far as clearance or the off set, I don't wnat the rims to come outside of the wheel well I plan on putting 17's ......are 18's possible any help is appreciated

 

I am doing something similar, and have found that if you take the offset of the wheel you are looking at and subtract the width of the spacer, that will be the end offset and stance of the wheel. This website should help with the backspace and outward movement of the wheel. So if you normally have a 42 offset wheel, and you add a 20mm adapter, your actual end offset will be the same as a 22 offset wheel.

Be warned... CP customer service, communication, and delivery is terrible. I've waited two months for my order and all I've received is one promise that it was complete and about to ship (6 weeks ago) and another notice that it was shipping (a week ago). Still no parts and no requested tracking number.

They are efficient in one respect, they charged my credit card right after I placed the order.

i called these guys and they said they could order me some that convert into 4x114.3 which i would rather have and they are only i want to say $70 a peice so $40 cheaper then CP

 

Rusty, what is the thickness of those spacers??

 

idk i got the name of that place from a guy on ebay that had a set for sell i would gusse the same as the CP set.....

what is the problem of putting the spacers on the rear.....i guy on the forum awhile back said you had to pull the axles and all that.... but front you just bolt on..i wanted to know more info before buying

 

Actually their only $10 cheaper than cp, cpracing sells them for $80 a wheel...and changing your bolt pattern to 5*114.3 rather than 4*114.3 will give you far more wheel options go as far as design...I have the cp wheel adaptors and am very happy with them...

 

yeah, but how long did it take to get them? And if you guys use the search function, there is a thread somewhere that has a llink to adapters for like 80 to 100 dollars US for all four! With all the gripe about CP, there is no way i am sending them any of my money.

 

What material does caliwheels use? Most likely aluminum, but what grade?
