I was looking around online for someone to make me 110 to 114.3 or 4.5 wheel adaptors.

I dont trust CP Racing as far as i can throw them.

Mariah Motorsports had on their site a notice that they were designing adaptors. I gave them a call and they told me that the project was scrapped.

So I did some looking around and I found this guy:

Fred Goeske
Design Deluxe
21300 Deering court
Canoga Park, CA 91304
Voice (818)992.5700
Fax (818)337.2471
www.wheeladapter.com

I had a nice talk with him on the phone and although he will not do a 4 to 5 lug conversion he will make us 4 lug adaptors in any size we ask for.

Price $65.00 per adaptor. I didnt think that was bad. since CP was over $300 if i remember.

So now my question..........

What size adaptor do I get? What is the most popular bolt pattern?

Feedback please.

either 4-110 or 4-114.3 would get you basically any rims ... they're both popular, Personnaly though i think that i'd for with 114.3. But as you prob know your offset will be quite off.

I think DJ means either 4-100 or 4-114.3, and 114.3 is what the GSL-SE has, along with many other imports.

lol ... thanks for the correction ... thats what happens when you work on an FB you have all these numbers in your head that you can't get rid of, and so when you type too fast ... you just type the wrong thing

Price is good. I need a pair 4x110 to 4x110, 2" thick to increase the track width on my Epsilons to fill out the wheel wells on the widebody in the front.

what is the reasoning for him not being willing to do the 4 to five lug conversion? I have to have my rear hubs redrilled to 5 lug as I am swapping a second gen rack into my GSL-SE and it is a 5 lug setup.

jfachner72

The 5 lug conversion uses one original bolt and he said that represents an insurance issue for him in event of a failure.

I assume it is because of the one original stud being used.

Any way I think that there are plenty of 4 luggers out there.

just a thought here ... but you can buy the 2 that jaime has to offer (save your self 30 bucks) use those for the back, and since you have an 84, buy some GSL-SE rotors and calipers for the front like this you'll have upgraded brakes up front (burnt outs lol) but also maintain the 4x114.3 bolt pattern all around

Just a note, I just ordered a set OF FOUR hub-centric flat spacers from Fred. At first it was $160 shipped. I paid right away with Pay-pal at his insistence although he explained I was covering their fees also. Then 10 minutes later he calls back and says that he just noticed that I had wrote "set of 4". He says that $160 was just for 2 and that he needed another $130 for another 2 for a grand total of $290 shipped. I went ahead and paid it because I was up against a deadline on this project and tired of dealing with it but I feel screwed. His original Email response to me clearly says "hub centric flat spacers $40 each".

Rotary friends beware, get it straight before he has to "call you back".
