rlf444w Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 i bought these for it as i wanted to run it on 5 stud wheels just to make it look more like the real thing they came with the adaptors to convert from 4 stud 100pcd tp 130pcd but i bought not thinking about they were for bolt fixing not studs so have been looking into how to make them work, i have relisted them on ebay now as it looks easier to buy hubs ready made Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

robah Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Nice project car you have there, apart from the 5 stud conversion and possible paint (lol) unless you like the colours, what else do you plan for the car? I want to 5 stud mine and will do in the future once I get around to finishing my current repairs and using the car first. Looking forward to the thread updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf444w Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 yes i to dont like the multi colour look of it but its thee only way to get good panels on it, and will hopefully be painted in the spring ready to bolt back together , im thinking silver Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

steveopel Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi just read this and i dont see what you see a problem with the adapters if the rims are the correct offset with the adapters all you need is the nuts to be turned down so they dont fowl the rims, its dead easy i dropped on some perfect offsets on the Porsche rims with a decent offset to fill the arches, but if they are on ebay then i guess its too late.

rlf444w Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 the problem using nuts is the hole on the 4 stud has to be opened out to accept a nut instead of a bolt it then is to close to one of the hole where you bolt the 5 studs ,you can buy short nuts that would work without cutting down , i was looking at fitting steel rivnuts but will have to open the stud up which is not a problem on the front hubs but will have to remove the halfshafts for the rear and not sure how easy it would be to drill and press them in on the shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveopel Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Yes i did it that way with a short nut machined down, it really was that easy but the holes were already counter sunk on the 4 stud part to accept the stud, it looks like those above you had use a flat bolt not a tapered one.

rlf444w Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 have you got any pictures steve ive still got the wheels at the moment ,sold once but no contact from winning bidder typical ebay so might still use them , i was also looking at some 17's but not sure if they look to big on a 400 kit or not , i can see your car looks like its on 17's but i cant find a bigger picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveopel Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 yes will sort them out and try to put a photo on, 17s dont look too big i even thought of doing the larger Porsche rims and modifying the 400 kit, Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.
