Does anyone know where you can buy hub adapters? (to allow wheels with a different PCD to be put on)

pcd = pitch circle diameter - vaux nova is 4 x 100 ie theres 4 holes and if there was a circle with them on the circumference its diameter would be 100mm

however im sure you can buy hub adapter kits - the golf boys have been doin it for years however this is usually 4 to 5 stud conversion (there was also the dutch corsa in TV with 5 stud porsche wheels on) which i can see being the only reason youd want to change the pcd, as most wheels come in a vaux pcd?

No im not from pickering...

I read on another forum that you could get them and I have seen mk1 golfs with 5 stud wheels?

The reason I am asking is I have been given some very nice 5 stud 17" wheels.

So does no one know where to get the adapters?

Problem is standard nova offset is 49mm,
adapters are usually 25mm thick aluminium,
So basically it ain't gonna fit under standard arches.

if they are vaux fitment 5 stud wheels u could make it work using vaux hubs and custom shafts

you can change the pcd, i have on my volvo rear axle to run vauxhall wheels. But i have other reasons for doing this and i wouldnt bother on a standard nova, just find some better wheels that will fit.

Sell the 5 stud 17" wheels and buy the right ones. simple really.

a 5 stud conversion is gonna be a total mare/pita!


for the be arsed factor of it all you may aswell flog them and get the right wheels

Do the SXI or SRI wheels of the corsa c have the same PCD and offset as corsa b wheels?


What other manufactures have the same PCD / offset? MG?
