Wheelin

Hey guys I was wondering if any one had any experiences putting 5x112 bolt pattern Audi wheels on A 5x100 jetta pattern?
Was there much complications besides the usual and how big did you go?

Re: Wheelin

I've ran adaptors on both my jettas and no issues with either type- 4x100 -5x130 and 5x100 -5x127 currantly , no wobbles or vibrations at all, last set was from here www.motorsport-tech.com

Re: Wheelin

Sweet thanks for all the quick replies guys (: I'm thinking of getting 19" inch peelers

Re: Wheelin

they are nice wheels, but 19's can be very tough to pull off on a mk4.

Re: Wheelin

It's not just adapters, you have to make sure the wheel offset is high enough to use adapters. Stock offset on a mk4 is et35 iirc. Thinnest adapters available are 15mm so in order to run a wheel with adapters, it needs to have an offset that is high enough. reasonable offsets for a mk4 depending on how low/tires etc is between et10 and et35 with 10 being more poked out and 35 being more sucked in. Wheel offset minus adapter thickness in mm = your final offset.

Re: Wheelin

What are the specs on the wheels you are trying to run?

Re: Wheelin

He mentioned Peelers, which I assume are the Audi S4 wheels, which are 19x8.5 ET43 I believe, so 15mm adapters would give final offset of ET28?

Re: Wheelin

Your right on turbo there the Audi s4 peelers and I'm gonna test fit them and see how bad the poke is.

Re: Wheelin

At a final ET of 28, I dont think the poke will be bad at all!

Re: Wheelin

I'm hoping so! (: they would damn sexy

Re: Wheelin

Your rears are going to sit in still, i think they could definitely work, but hard to pull off depending on how low you go and what tire size you select. It would take a bit more research before you buy adapters and tires

Re: Wheelin

Yea I gotta do a bit more searching I've done a little already. I'm not too low ATM just sitting on race springs so ill have to get coils before I can more low
