5 X 4.50 to 5 X 120 Wheel Adapter - 54505120 (http://adaptitusa.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=118) You've got to pay to play though.

Don't know if thats what you actually want but It would be alot easier/ more practical than an actual hub swap.

rofl what are they, corvette rims? (if they are, they have kind of a fail offset.) Same with BMW.

Stick with your 5x114

I agree, what were the rims from? It adds extra weight to add adapters

yeah. Just find an S14 with the 5 lug hubs, take them off, put them on your car. Easy.

I though Corvette wheels were 5x115. Or maybe I'm thinking Porsche.
5x120 are BMW wheel fitment.
But then, if they are aftermarket,
you have to also get hub centric rings.
Another thing you can do is take it to a wheel shop and they
might be able to re-drill the correct bolt pattern, depending on the type of wheel.

Thanks man for pointing them out to me:bigok:
Naw they are not corvette rims they are bmw rims.
I have the stock bbs mesh rims so yeah just wanted to see how they would look and work out for me.I'm pretty much a :newbie: but when I get those hubs do I need to get different rotors 2?or do u just connect them to the hub?

Why in Hell would you think you need different rotors?

PM arcticdragon for some pics of his wheels on his Z32. They look pretty sexy. I think I remember him mentioning that they were BMW replica wheels that his company made. Don't quote me on that though.

some bmw wheels come in nice offsets. but the adapter hubs will be like 52mm.

Because the rotors are also drilled to 5x114.3.
The 5x120 hubs will need 5x120 rotors.

if you got new hubs then yes you would. if you got the piece listed earlier in this thread the spacer/adapter would bolt to the old rotor.

The bolt on hubs don't seem very safe.
It's like lifting a 5lb weight with your finger.
the closer the weight is to the tip of the finger,
the more stress you put on it. That's how i see it and
it's my personal opinion on hubs. I would just get the wheels
drilled for the correct bolt pattern.

With adapters, that's not an issue.

With a redrilled hub, you just redrill the rotors. It's not like the rotor is any harder to drill after you've done the work for the rotor, or that there is a 5x120 rotor that will bolt on to the chassis anyway.

I get what you're saying on that but there are tons of guys on here running bolt on spacers.

most of them are probably not nearly as well built as those ones I listed.

He should be fine using those and it would end up being the easiest way to run the wheels he wants to run.

anyone know of any reputable company that makes a 5x114.3 --> 5x120 adapter?

Only ones I've seen so far are 5x120 -- > 5x114.3 for BMW owners who want more wheel choices, and I think that was by Ichiba.

I know there are a buncha no-name ones on ebay... but any reputable brands?

He's going from 4 lug to 5lug then 114 to 120. I assume they mean 4 lug to 5 lug rotors.
