For all you guys out there with wheelproblems. Look no further! Rims with 4/108 WILL fit nicely, IF you use special type bolts. They are commonly available here in Norway, and they are commonly known as "slacking" bolts. (Sorry about the bad translation..) They feature a loose head ( the actual bolt is still solid, but the "head", where you put your tire iron is loose) and shouldent cost more than the regulars. I will try to post a picture of my car as proof, if somebody can tell me how!!!

well you can do it one of two ways.
if its on a website then go to the bottom of this page and look where it says [IMG] code is on. click that, and it has instructions from there.

if you are uploading from your pc then
hit reply then hit manage attachments, and add pics that way. hope this helps. i want to see this for myself!

1 low bosst 12a turbo kit with either blow through webber or for a nikki
2 more suspension upgrades and aftermarket diffs to replace on gsl's and add to gs's
3 bolt up miata wishbone kit
MORE WHEELS FOR 12A!!!!!!!!!!

i know this prolly wont happen but the wheels and turbo kit are fully producable by people with the know how and there is a reasonable market for em.

OK, here goes. The picture shows my car with TSW Apex rims with 4/108 pattern. I have also enclosed a drawing of the bolts, by myself in paintbrush. That said, i know i cant draw for ****....

I still hope you get the concept tough, PM, or send me an Email if you are curious about anything. The bolts was bought in a normal tirestore, and are not made especially for me, in fact they are quite common over here.

I will try to post pictures of the bolts in real life when i can get a hold of a digital camera!

Its a customized aftermarket item! The whole kit is moulded seemless into the bodypanels, and its made of plastic (sideskirts) and fibreglass (front and rear).

She needs a little bit of TLC this winter to have her looking 100% again but not much.

I`ll try to find out who made the kit when i have the time and post it in a thread!

you know if you're having trouble with cup holders, wal-mart sells a dual cupholder "tray" that slides in between the passenger seat and the center console. It's worked for me for over a year, only thing is you might need to remove it if someone rides with you, I rode in my passenger seat and it gave me too little hip room. no im not fat either haha

Check out www.selectmaz.com.au for a kit similar to mine. My kit is a blend between the euro ss kit and the ultima kit. Its still heavily modified though...

About the bolts for using 4x108 wheels, I think what Morten is using is this kind of bolt - right Morten?

Those are the bolts! Works great, just dont use too much torque, because you will break the "cup". I did the first time...
