Which wheels will fit

[evorobin]

Guys, any of you know what the centrebore for wheels to fit on a Nissan Skyline (R32) would be?

Skyline has a 66mm centre bore

5 stud (5x114.3) - Skylines are 5 stud whereas Silvias are 4-stud right?

Anyway, thanks for the info evorobin - do you think a 100mm PCD can be drilled on 60mm+ centrebore?

[evorobin]

Should be easy upto 66mm but without seeing a picture it's hard to tell.

Yeah, I'm considering buying a set of wheels for later - I've requested pictures but don't know if I'll get a reply. Just that I had a similar set of wheels before (5x114.3, ~70mm centrebore) and I couldn't get them redrilled as the centrebore was too big. I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

(You've probably guessed it... yep they're BBS RS - I don't know why I bother sometimes?)

non turbo skylines are 4 stud, turbo modles are 5 stud.

Ohh, never knew that. Probably cos there are so many more turbo models around here in Australia.

I got them on at last. see signature for pic. Some miror scrubbing on HARD cornering but stiff shocks and spring change will fix that - we think.

The tyres are 16x205 40 series on the front and 16x205 45 series on the back.

Had to take the calipre bracket back a matter of 2 or 3 mm.

Just to clarify this question, yes it can be done, up to 70mm centrebore.
Gary did an awsome job and cant wait to get rollin!

Sounds great that you got your wheels on reborn, where are the pics?

Opposites attract

Have just fitted my 14" Golf Mags on a 95 Charade so assumedly it goes the other way? Have fitted new 16" Borbets

Does anyone know the PCD from a Datsun 1200, 1600, 180B etc??



also what's the go with multi stud wheels? IS it just like having two PCD on the middle?? ANd can this be done to any wheel?

if so, where and how much??

can any one clarify for me??

[goodfella]

just trying to get my head around the centre bore / offset calcs....

If a WRX spec wheel was to fit my Mk4 Bora 4mo, would the 56mm centre bore (vs 57mm on VW) problem be sidestepped using some 15-20mm spacers? I just figure there would be more options in WRX wheels than VW wheels.

Has anybody actually done similiar?

[goodfella]

any takers?

I've never tried, but thinking about it, it should definitely work after adding spacers, but the width of the spacers must be more than that of the hub sticking out (like in the case of the rear of Mk3's) so that a smaller centrebore wheel can go on without any obstruction. Also, your spacers must not be hub-centric to VW, as that defeats the purpose of adding the spacers in the first place! Adding spacers complicates things though, as your wheels would no doubt stick further out and depending on the width and offset, you might find yourself rubbing tyre against the arches. Also, it'd be a lot safer using adapter-style spacers at widths greater than 20mm (though I think 30mm is the "cut-off" point), which will contribute to more $$$.

I would go with shaving the centrebore out to 57.1mm if I wanted to fit on WRX wheels.

[intensem1]

Not 100% sure but im sure you will find alot of WRX rims (aftermarket) will have a larger centre bore so you can simply get Hub centric spacers from any tyre shop.

What you talk of is also possible but could be expensive, wouldnt get them off the shelf i dont think.

You can always have the centre bore machined out alot of wheel/tyre places can arrange it.

[Jarred]

I'm looking at doing, sorry, get some adaptor-spacers amde up.

This is to go from a 57.1 centre bore to 70mm (or something) centrebore, and atleast 25 odd mm thick. These kinda things are often best made up to suit the individual specs of the wheels and cars, and I'm pretty sure ones like these aren't readily availiable off the shelf.

Also I'd be using a second set of stubs from the adaptor as well, as 50 odd mm long bolts, just don't quite cut it. and using stubs in teh spacer (from spacer to wheel) also makes it legal!
