Furkz 0 Posted March 12, 2006 No, need 2 sets of slim adaptors,4x100-5x100-then-5x100-5x112 not recommended. need to stress dont try this... thats crazy i think the safest route if dong hub conversion to 5x100 and then using 5x100 spacers to 5x112 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted March 12, 2006 Can't be done in one spacer apparently due to the way they line up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billinjah 0 Posted March 13, 2006 if they overlap you can get your hubs redrilled retro dubs in cambridge do this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatVR6 0 Posted March 13, 2006 can be done actually. AAT do a 2 peice spacer/adapter to go from 4x100 to 5x112. don't ask me to explain, took me a while to get my head around it, but it's obvious when you see how it's been done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billinjah 0 Posted March 13, 2006 yeah redrilling is much safer than adapters anyway but normally it cant be done as 130 to 100 is the most common swap and a 100 hub isnt big enough. tbh if the adapters were steel then running two would be no problem at all its just not the done thing!
