Wheel Size Help

C2 · Post by C2 » Fri Feb 09, 2007 8:29 pm

I am looking for new wheels and tires. I am looking at TSW Kyalami 15x6.5 with a 20mm stagger or a 35mm stagger. I want to buy Toyo Proxes4 205-50-15 tires.
Now for the interesting parts. I can only find 4 bolt 100 patterns. I have heard of a two part bolt that will adjust the bolt pattern 2 mm. Has anyone used these bolts? I saw that IP sells wheels with both 35mm and 20 mm stagger. the wheels on the car now have 22mm stagger. If I go to a 35mm stagger there is a larger selection of wheels to pick from. I know enough to look for clearances. Anything else I should keep in mind?

Stagger? Are you refering to offset?

Two part bolts? What's that? Sounds like an unsafe idea. Two options I would recommend:

1. Get a proper set of 4X98s. There are options and there are places in the Vancouver area that will bring them in for you.

2. If you are bent on using 4X100 then you need a proper adapter. (Is that what you meant by two-part bolts?)

Have a look at this company's products:

https://www.adaptitusa.com/

Part #498410010 ( ie. 4X98 to 4X100)

The other advantage of buying 4X98s is that you can find them hub-centered. With 4X100 wheels you will likely only find an oversized center bore requiring a centering ring. Good luck.

Cheers

I did mean offset not stagger. The more I look into wheels I am going to get the original wheels cleaned, straightened, and refinished. I found a place in Surrey that has a good reputation.

Joe , the type of bolt he's refering to have a floating beveled head that will adjust up to 2mm. They are ONLY for hub centric rims . They work pretty well as all they need to do is hold the rim against the hub not support the rim.

Found out more on these bolts and options for my wheels. Brad you are right. I met some guy named Gio who has a shop in PoCo. He is going to do some work on my car. I asked him about new wheels. Seems like a good guy. You know him Joe?

What happened to my previous reply?

To answer your question, yes, I know Gio very well. I should as he's my brother...

What I had no idea about were these types of bolts nor that Gio carried them. Learn something new everyday...

Anyway, Gio's got some nice high end wheels for the Spider as well as other cool accessories.

Good luck with your car.
