wheel fitment question

Lothario · 02-21-2014, 01:21 PM

just for poops and giggles. any way to fit a set of

Bolt pattern: 5x112
Front size: 19x8.5 - 235/35/19 tire size
Rear size: 19x11 - 295/30/19 tire size

wheels on a 370? i think were 5x114 right? anyway to adapt them?

WheelAdapter.com > Wheel Adapters

Maybe these guys? I can't vouch for their quality, but they claim to make adapters for any pattern. Not sure what it would do to your offset, though.

Lothario · 02-21-2014, 02:15 PM

will that make the wheels stick out the sides and look stupid?

Chuck33079 · 02-21-2014, 02:17 PM

No idea. You didn't give the offset of the wheels and I didn't see the thickness of the adapter on their website.

Plus, you've got brake clearance to worry about in front.

To be honest, I'd just get wheels that fit without an adapter. The front you mentioned is too narrow anyway.

What are the offsets?

very good question.

most pcd changing spacers start at like 25mm minimum.

cooltoy · 02-21-2014, 03:08 PM

I think you gave me a link at one time when I asked about converting a bolt pattern and the lowest that they had were 20 mm.

oh, was it 20? yah, they dont go too thin on those to maintain ridigity, i think.

i suppose if these are some REAL SPECIAL rare wheels, one could fabricate a pcd change on the hub and rotors... not sure if it's worth it though. ive seens some 4x100 guys convert to 5x114.3.

OMGWTFBBQ · 02-21-2014, 03:11 PM

Hub adapters are usually 15mm or thicker. Just get one that converts from 5x114.3 to 5x112 and you should be good. Subtract 15mm from your offset to get the final offset, so if it's +30 then your effective offset with the hub adapter is +15. Remember that the thinner the hub adapter, the more the original studs will poke out past the adapter so your wheels might have issues clearing the original studs depending on the design of the wheel.

No offense, but that is a retardedly narrow front wheel compared to the rear wheel. 2.5 inch stagger? WTF LOL

do they have pcd changing ones starting 15mm? i thought those were ticker, i could be wrong. ive not used those types.

8.5" actually isn't too bad considering 245/40/19 tires on the front.

but id be more concerned abou the design. typical 8.5" width wheels are kinda boring... unless it's like a flat spoke type. but then flat spokes dont really look all that great on our curvy cars.

OMGWTFBBQ · 02-21-2014, 03:38 PM

Project Kics has adapters for 5x100 to 5x114.3 starting at 15mm. That's what we're using to run 370z sized wheels on our widebody FRS.

It's convenient because I can swap wheels from my Z to our widebody s2000/widebody FRS/widebody FD3S RX7 since they all use the same width/offset/bolt pattern.
