Well you'll need to convert from 4 stud to 5 stud so I guess that means new hubs all round??

Theres a company that sells the adaptors to convert 4 to 5 stud in the back of PVW magazine.

didn't realise they were available but fair play if they are. I guess they bolt to the hub and must be at least 15mm thick so you wouldn't require spacers for the rear but not sure how you'd get on with the fronts. Actually thinking about it, the guy on here with the yellow cupra that was in the bodyshop recently. Had a full respray and various parts smooth, I'm sure he was running 5 stud Porsche rims

sorry guys, but you can't buy adaptors to go from 4x100 (Ibiza) to 5x112 (Audi) as one of the bolt holes on each pattern overlap.

However, you can get 5x100 -> 5x112 adaptors, so if you really wanted to you could change all your hubs etc to Mk3 Golf ones and then use the adaptors to fit the wheels.... alot of work though.

 

[andyj]

you can also buy 4x100 -> 5x100 adaptors, which I think "MR Ibiza Cupra" was refering to earlier

Here's CupraT's thread, he's running 5 studs which i guess are 5x100??

 

[andyj]

nope, his porsche rims are 5x130, which you can buy adators for

 

[andyj]

As you can see from this quick sketch, the top hole of the 5x112 pattern, overlaps the top hole of the 4x100 pattern.

and rotated 45 degrees:

The left hand hole now overlap......

Which ever position you have the 5x112 pattern, you will always get an overlap of holes.

This means you cannot get a sufficient securing point on the 5th hole

He's right ya know, i've also looked into this.

 

[B19_TSH]

that's that then.

plus porka wheels have a bigger offset so when using the adaptors they sit just right

i have a brand new set of wheel adapters made up to convert 4 x 100 to 5 x 100 if anyones interested? they cost nearly 500 quid custom made jobbies.
