Wheel adaptors taking power

[gunny]

Just wondering if anybody has put any decent amount of power through a set of 4-5 stud wheel adaptors?

Are you widearched? Cos if not you will need at least ET59 wheels to get under the arches running them.

Why not just do a hub conversion?

Unless this isnt for a Nova?

Answer to original question, i would avoid them like a barge pole IMO.

5 stud adaptors for porsche wheels on my nova Lee

[Lee]

you'll never get them under the arches with adaptors im afraid pal, I rekon the offset would be too low even if you could bolt them directly to the hubs, unless like I said, your widearching it OR you can get some wheels made in a hugely high offset for loadsa money.

I know somone on here (Black, euro look) had porky wheels with a 2.0.

They're 7J and do go on with 195 tyres and and rolled arches (which mine has)

Most porsche wheels are high (50+) offsets anyhow bud

A friend of mine has an MTM Tuned RS4 running 600+bhp and thats on Audi>Porsche fitment adapters

Ive NEVER heard of any problems from running them!

[gunny]

Cheers Stoo, put my mind at rest mate:thumb:, though i was going to have to put them on the saloon lol

[Lee]

Well there you go :) I would have expected them to be uber low offset!

[mayhem]

its safe :) 60% of the dutch VW guys run with them, i know a guy with a mk1 golf 20vT with 350++ hp and never had any problems

[gunny]

Cool i was just worrying over nothing then lol

[rednova]

where abouts are you getting your adapters from bud - ive got a set of forged bbs rims that i fancy sticking on my loon - 5x100

Likewise, i know a chap with a mk4 running 260+ through them fine.

[gunny]

Already got my adaptors from a private seller mate, also mine being porsche fitment they are 5x130, isn't 5x100 standard vauxhall 5 stud? If so id say go for a 5 stud hub conversion mate.
