Brownmiata 10 Posted July 29, 2012 As the title says i just got a g60. Its green really dont know anthing about the car. Infact I am having a hard time finding wheels. The hub is 57.1 and it just seems nothing will fit. Is there a common wheels swap? Thanks guys hope to be active here! Will post pics soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted July 29, 2012 welcome! probably best to just pass it on if you cant find wheels. when shall i collect? what wheels do you want? theres loads and loads of options. most things 4x100 will fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brownmiata 10 Posted July 29, 2012 Haha! Sure come tomorrow to pick up? Just kidding thanks for the welcome I'm looking for something to roll the car around on. I've got a Miata. A 85 turbo Volvo and no the corrado. But the Miata wheels won't fit due to 13" and the stock ones won't cause 14" and I tried some 15-16 but the hub is too small also tried my moms civic wheels also too small hub. Found some cheap wheels from a Saturn and they will fit but the guy isn't emailing back. I just need something cheap (>120) for a little while! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastie4126 0 Posted July 29, 2012 As a rule of thumb if it's 15'+ and comes from a mk1/2 Golf it should fit, for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-4x100-deep-dish-alloy-wheels-VW-Golf-MK1-and-MK2-/160850167707?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&fits=Model%3AGolf%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK+II&hash=item25736ac79b where abouts are you? It might also be worthwhile putting something in the wanted section on here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 29, 2012 I can tell he's in the USA so a wanted ad on here might not be much use (we're mostly UK based). Anything from a 4 stud, similar era VW should fit just fine - surely should be able to find some of those in a junk yard or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted July 29, 2012 All 4 bolt VW alloys will be 4x100 fitment. I can't verify the accuracy but this looks like a fairly good list of other manufacturers who also have cars with a 4x100 fitment: http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread/t-117406.html Welcome to the forum :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brownmiata 10 Posted July 29, 2012 Alright last night I picked up some Racing Heart 17" wheels from a friend. Got them wrapped in brand new nexens. And they wont fit (i knew this but it was too good of a deal.) So today im going to get some supplies and open the center hub size up. Wish me luck! And I am in Irvine California!

sexybourbon 0 Posted July 29, 2012 Alright last night I picked up some Racing Heart 17" wheels from a friend. Got them wrapped in brand new nexens. And they wont fit (i knew this but it was too good of a deal.) So today im going to get some supplies and open the center hub size up. Wish me luck! And I am in Irvine California! Nice and easy job just go very carefull i used a small dremel and sanding bit and carefully took out the amount i needed , it was 1mm from 56.1 subaru to vw 57.1 go easy working in a circle and not in one spot and you will find you wont even need spigots they fit that nice Iv got a set to do at weekend !! I think it took me about an hour or so a wheel Also used one of those flappy sanding bits you put in a drill to smooth the surface after the dremmel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brownmiata 10 Posted July 29, 2012 Alright so I did some measuring and it looks like I cant take out that much of the hub It will hurt the structure of the wheel. So now I have a $650 set of racing hearts to go on my miata. I really wish I could just find a set with tires that has the right hub. GRRR! Anyone want to trade for some 13" Rota RB's? Prolly the wrong fourm huh? Anyways here are the pics. And one of my miata. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
