What is the wheel bolt pattern (4 x ?mm) for FBs?

 

4 x 110 for everything but the GSL-SE.

The SE got the 4 x 114.3

 

thats what i thought it was but im having trouble finding wheels with that bolt pattern

 

Nothing fits our bolt patteren. You only have to pick from a couple wheels, if they still make them.

 

thats garbage....i wonder if its possible to get new wheel hubs with a more popular bolt pattern

 

Some rims will fit but you have to put spacers to get the correct offset.

I am having the same problem. I have the stock 13 and want to go to 15. All the rims I like will not fit.

It sucks!

 

i want to get 17s. ive found some awesome wheels from konig and other brands but none with the right bolt pattern. i think im gonna try my idea and find some wheels hubs that i can replace the stock ones with that have a different bolt pattern

 

Yup - you swap in the GSL-SE suspension and hubs.

 

cool, thanks for the info manntis....now i just have to find a gsl-se. did they only have that model in 84 & 85?

 

How costly is doing this?

 

Yea, the SE model was only available in 84-85. good luck :]

 

its not possible to just swap the se hubs?

 

I was thinking of changing my GSL wheels over to 14" SE and went so far as to purchase locally all the items that are supposedly needed (according to Steve, the guy I bought them from). The parts include both rear axles, front and rear rotors and brake calipers and of course the wheels, all in very servicable condition (especially the wheels, which could be cleaned up to like new condition). Then I decided that I would rather keep my all original GSL all original, so the conversion parts sit in my attic. They would be available at cost (I think I paid $250) to anyone who wants to do this conversion.

What about the 108mm 80's Mustang wheels (4.25")- can't they be overdrilled to be 110mm?

 

What's the offset for our stock 110s?

 

20mm

 

i was planning on putting all my TurboII stuff into a '79. will the rotors, calipers, and hubs fit onto a '79 FB from my '87TII? i'm sure it's possible with enuff $$$, but since i don't have enuff $$$, will it bolt on?

 

no... i don't think it will bolt on

 

was planning on putting all my TurboII stuff into a '79

Putting 2nd gen brakes on a 1st has been done before. Search around... I think there was some talk of someone making a kit to do this. It takes some custom machining, etc. Far from a bolt on, but not all that complex.
One issue is the TII has 5 bolt hubs, so you'd have to get the rear axles redrilled. A 4 bolt base model would be an easier awap.

 

I was just talking to a friend of mine, he is an ace tire guy, he just put 17" wheels on his '94 Audi (sp) and I like the look of the wheel very much. I asked him waht the bolt patern was and he said they are 4 x 110. He had no problem finding wheels.

I am going to test fit them on my car, but I think I am gonna go 15" insted of 17". I'll let you know how they fit.

 

I believe you can order any wheel without holes and have a machine shop or wheel place drill the holes.

 

hey man, if you need to find rims for your fb, i know how much of a bitch they are to find because i have my share of fb's also, but CP racing in canada sells 5-lug conversions for 300 shipped, and it bolts on right onto the rotor
