My ride had 5 lug adapters installed when I got the car, just got into taking the rear suspension off yesterday and took adapters off for the first time. My 5 lug bolt pattern is about 115 mm, so not standard Porsche 130 mm pattern. The adapters used one of the original holes in the hub for a longer stud, then had 4 others pressed into the adapter. How do you get 115 out of 130 using one of the hub holes ???
There I fixed it, sorry for poor proof read.  here's how, an offset stud. Anyone seen any of these befiore? Spacers are 21mm thick and die cast, no idea who made them.  |

You need to throw away you metric measuring tape. 315mm = 12.4" Bolt pattern and 121mm = 4.7" thick spacer.
Offset studs are an old cheap way to change wheels around. I would not reuse them. They look scary! |
