  • 5x114.3 wheels

    Hi guys,

    i have near new wheels however they are 5x114.3 pattern and my passat as most of you know is 5x112.
    I have researched and "wobble Bolts" seem to be the only solution but i wanted to know if anyone has used them and if their experience is negative or positive.

    My concern is safety and wether or not they can withstand the daily drive and pressure the car can put on the wheels.

    thx
    Bru

    Best bet is to get a set of 5x112 wheels as you won't have any legality issues.
    Wobble bolts and adaptors introduce questions about legality and insurance voidance.

        Wobble Bolts can easily withstand the daily driving routine. There's nothing wrong with them to be quite honest, but most will tell you to just get 5x112 wheels.

        If you absolutely MUST have 5x112 wheels, get your favourite wheels filled and re-drilled into the 5x112 pattern. It'll be more expensive than wobble bolts, but it should quite easily pass insurance and ignore all legalities.

              It really is. As long as the holes are M14 and not M12 like most JDM wheels all you have to do is use the Wobble Bolts and most likely some hub centric rings.
