What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[McDub]

went to all the effort of taking off the front bumper (first time so it took a while), for well, not much in the end...

was a pain to get the bonnet locking latch back on. i'm thinking of just removing that metal clip thing, surely it does nothing!

That rear stance is just perfect.

Whilst i've got my 17's off at the moment i decided to give them a clay bar and wax.........OH Sh@#!!!!!!

I didn't realize how bad they were, But now.... SO Shinny!

It was like christmas today! Got my summer wetsuit back from repair and my adapters arrived. Tested them out, the stance is EXACTLY! what i want, was freaking the rears would have to much poke but i think its just right (pictures to follow)
But then it all came crashing down... apparently my new rears have a different centre bore to the fronts... i ordered 60mm centre bore allround. turns out the rears are 66 off a nissan!

I have ZERO luck when it comes to cars!

Can anyone direct me to or tell me if its possible to get hub centric rings 60-66...

If you ordered 60mm centre bore (why not 57.1?), then surely that's what you should have received? And if that's the case, perhaps approach the seller?

sorry, might have been confusing.
i had to get adapters for my wheels as they are 5x114.3 with (what i thought was) a 60 centre bore all round. turns out the two rears are actually 66 and the fronts are 60, if id know i would have ordered the adapters bigger for the rear as they were custom made.

Edit: if you were referring to the wheels, well I don't think there's much chance of returning them...

Just a thought (and i have absoultely no idea about this), but wouldnt it be possible to get the smaller bore of 60 opened up to 66 as you require for the rear?

unlucky though mate, i wanna see the wheels on!

its sort of reverse to how your thinking, i need my adapters to "grow" to fit the wheel. I'll take a picture tonight to explain.

I should be ordering tyres tonight through tirerack as they are almost half the price after shipping of what i could get here, and i also cant get the size i want here...

I want them on too (before i know it everyone will be rocking BBS RS ). I didnt take any of the front, but heres a quicky of the rear between rain and darkness



EDIT: Oh and there is a jack taking the weight of the car

[anth]

can you use some hub ring spacers (on the bolt-on spacers) ? not sure if that will work.

[Blitzen]

Bob Jane should be able to help you out with hug rings... Thats where I went when I needed them.

Oh yeh I get what you are saying now...for some reason I was thinking about the bore? of the wheels being 60 not the adapters

[madglf3]

I just had some hubcentric rings machined up last week (ended up to be around 9mm hub - bore difference), they ended up costing $80 and they fit really well. I'm in QLD though so can't help you with places to get them done.

Got a service today along with new Bilstein shocks, Eibach Pro-Kit springs, ECS stage 2 suspension refresh kit, APR exhaust and APR TIP. Feels like a new car!

[sir_camel]

discovered when returning to my car at the station my freaking rear numberplate has been stolen. Just reported to the cops. Some punk kid now has a nice wall ornament.
