A newbie question:
Are there adapters to put "ricer" rims on the 914? There are literally HUNDREDS of sizes and styles available, but alas, in 4x108 bolt pattern. I realize it would probably be a spacer arrangement with the spacers bolted to the existing hole location and studs or lugs in the spacers... the question is, are those available? I also realize it would probably only work on a car with flares... ok, no big deal. If they aren't available, I can get a friend to make me some, (he has a lathe, mill, etc at home) but wanted to look for commercial products first. Brad |

I'm also running 5x5 adapters for my 16" 993 rims.
I bought them from Ralph T. Boothe. These adapters are also mentioned in Bruce Anderson's book. I have had them on the car for over 2 years and quite a few autoX's. No problems at all. Everything is torqued to factory specs. The early turbo's came from the factory with 5x5 adapters. I'm surprised they are banned. |
