Does any have or know where to get the adaptor to put 5 stud wheels on a 4 stud hub.

Also would 8x17 RH Topline rims go on a 325i sport lowered 60mm without rubbing etc. bearing in mind they will have an adaptor which would (i assume) will act as a 20mm spacer???? would 205/40/17 tyres be wide enough for the rims........

Any comments gratefully received, thanks

Looks like i'll have to stick to my 7.5/17's then. Bit of a shame, I too wanted to become part of the 20 wheel bolt crew!

I don't think ther are adapters available. You need to replace all the hubs, suspension arms and trailing arms iirc

Thanks for your help.

I was messing around on the web trying to find some last night and did come across some in the UK for Ԛ£60......t!t face me forgot to save the site address so cant find it now!!!! In my atempt to re-find this site i did come across this UK manufacturer (see link)

http://www.performancealloys.com/alloy_ ... aptors.asp

It would seem that they can make spacers/adaptors to suit your vehicle needs, no prices on there though so will carry on searching for the other site i found.
