DIY Fitting Oettinger Type M 3 piece 225/45/17 & 215/45/17

Originally these Oettingers were my wheel of choice after swapping over to a plus suspension upgrade. Now I can swap to my BBS RS001 whenever I want too. :clap:

 

Redrilling these on the current offset will have the inner rim hit the coilover spring so I went with the adapter alternative.

 

So here are some 5X112 to 5X100 adaptors specifically custom made for my application. The ones on the market was 17 or 19mm thick which will for sure make these 9 inch wheels stick out like a sore thumb on the rear. I needed as thin as possible with a maximum thickness of 15mm.

 

i needed them to be hubcentric and both center bore was 57.1mm

 

So here is how my adaptors look

 

 

studs pressed in

 

 

using socket cap 17mm bolt to hold it on the rotors. The heads stick out 1/2 inch so I need to have the wheels hub face machined so the head sit recessed when bolted on

 

 

 

here is the machining

 

looks wide

 

 

after i lower the car i might need to raise the coilover perches

 

 

here is how the adapter fits with the socket cap bolts into the wheel

the fender pulling will happen when it goes into the bodyshop for paint.
