dual bolt pattern wheels.......quick question
Sunday, August 13, 2006 8:36 AM
I was wondering if there is a wheel manufacturer out there that makes a dual pattern wheel as 5x100 + 5x115?

I'm doing an N-body swap with the aluminum control arms and will have 5x115 in the front and no I don't care to do the N-IRS beacause I have tein SS w/ EDFC and don't want to loose it. So is there such a wheel out there?

Would it also be uncommon for a wheel manu. to make a wheel style in both bolt patterns, then just get two in 5x100 and two in 5x115?

I have done some searching on the net but I still can't find a wheel i like so I havn't bothered yet to see if they make a host of different patterns.

You might have luck finding examples on eBay. Most I run across are 5x100/5x114.3 though.

The ones that are hardest to run across are ones that have a 4 lug pattern and a five lug pattern.

5x114.3 will fit on a 5x115. Its only .7mm thats not a whole lot. I know a few people with Grand Prixs that use 5x114.3 wheels.

that .7mm can seriously hurt you and everyone else on the road. The wheel studs are high grade steel 8, 10.9 or even 12.9 and neither of these like to be bent and then exposed to a cyclic loading. I might just figure out the cyclic endurance life on my flight back but I'd image its not much more than 100million cycles, which is around 110k miles or so then snap! youre boned.
