I have a set of 15x8 wheels that are a 120.7 (4.75") bolt pattern, in order for them to work I need a 1" spacer that comverts them to the 114.3mm (4.5") bolt pattern. I am wondering if they well even fit after this...heres what they measure.

4.25" measuring from back where hub meets wheel to front

4.25" measuring from back where hub meets wheel backing.

This is whithout the 1" spacer....including that...will it work?

 

I've tried searching...and I'm trying to sort through the 54 pages of thread on "Official FC fitment guide" but I'm not having luck. Can someone help me please?

 

Stock backspacing is approximately 5.5".
So yours will fit and clear everything inside, but they will stick out kind of a lot.

wrong bolt pattern size

 

Thats why I need the adpators..they convert our pattern to 120.7mm

 

adaptors = teh suck. get proper wheels.

 

What are the problems with adaptors?

 

Most of them crack over a period of time and stress unless your getting steel ones which would add alot of weight.
A few year back we went on several call related to wheel spacers/adaptors.
Several cars had the tires come off or one of the bearings locked up.

With the rim sticking further out it also adds more stress to the wheel bearings.
If you over torque them they will crack easy. With them cracked it is easy for a part of it to fall out allowing the rim to be loose.

I hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it is not my car or my rims. Just be sure to check them often if you go that way.
Be safe!

 

Thanks for the help and feedback..it's all apreciated.

 

Yeah be really careful when you torque them

 

Although there heavier...I'm trying to get a hold of the steel adapters....I will now in about 15 minutes if I get them...ebay item, lol.

 

Here is a better idea. Sell the ones you have, and invest in a set that is intended for your car. Better to do that than trying to stick a square block in a round hole. Know what I mean?

 

I will still keep these for autocross...I dont mind the extra work to get what I want. I cant find decent rims that are what I like or can afford. I like a nice polished lip on a rim that doesnt weight too much. I can get ADRs that look nice, but are heavy...or I can get forged and kill my pocket. I got these for 15 bucks, I want to give them a chance.....sigh.
