i need to know if my 9jx16 et 15 will stick out more or will my 8jx16 et11 .

i want to put 5x120 alloys on my cab, can you buy adaptors to change from 4 stud to 5 stud, how much extra will they stick out with the adaptors

where can i buy the adaptors from?

thanks Ray

i got 9s on at the moment and i just get away with 60ml drop with the arches grinded, do you think if i put the adaptors ona put the 8s on i will get away with them touching.

i had done a 5 stud conversion on my cab and i put the 8s on but they stuck out miles, i think the reason being they stuck out that much was because i used e36 conversion setup which come out an inch anyway,

so do you think the adaptor is the best thing if i put my e30 suspension back in, where do you buy the adaptors from

9s will stick out approx 8.5 mm more than the 8s. their higher offset means the centres will sit further inwards, but the extra 1/2in of the width on the outside edge means overall they will sit 12.5mm - 4mm = 8.5mm further towards the arch.

i think most pcd converting adaptors need to be 20mm thick as a minimum
cheers,
