random wheel question
bob tatt - 21/10/12 at 08:45 AM

hi there does anyone know if it is possible to fit some alloys with a pcd of 5x120 onto hubs with a pcd of 5x118. This is assuming the bore and offset are correct. Is there such a thing as a wobble nut?
Thanks in advance rob

There's wobble bolts, not aware of wobble nuts existing. Wouldn't be impossible to make so its possible that they do exist.

Yes there is, wobble bolts are horrid though. Better with adaptors.

what do you meen by adapters?

Wobble bolts are absolutely fine but you will NEED to have the correct centrebore or good spigot rings to ensure the wheel is centered on the hub.

1mm difference on each stud, get the file out

I'm presuming he has studs, which need nuts not wobble bolts?

Adapters will onlyy help if you wish to demolish your suspension/steering geometry. Unless of course you get wheels with an offset that counteracts the adapter.

Wobbly wheel nuts/bolts have used them - 97.5mm to 100mm, no problems
