Thinking of going to 16" phone dials. There is a local set 7" wide with 215 60 R15 tires and they are the late offset. I know these do not work without spacers if you do the 5 lug conversion. So, if I use my 4 to 5 lug adaptors (about 1") will that bring the offset close enough to work without flares?

Late offset need 2 inch in the rear and 1 inch up front. "I" don't like adapters to begin with.....and the 4 to 5 lug ones are the cheesiest.....
Consider using a redrilled rotor that Eric Shea sells...do them yourself or bite the bullet and convert to a 911 front end and redo the rear hubs.... Your Mileage May Vary.... |

Holy crap! I am agreeing with MikeZ!! The world must be coming to an end...
Definitely ditch the adaptors--try the "float test" on them; throw them into the lake and if they float, retrieve them for further study. (If not, let them sit there with all the "Pinto Weber" single-carb setups...) Spacers are one thing, and are tolerable. Four-to-five adaptors are, for the most part, cheesy crap and should be avoided at all costs. --DD |

OK guys, I get the point. I am planning on doing flares/911 supsension, and Eric Shea rear hubs but I am looking about 2 years out on that project. I was just considering the adaptors for the near future until I get the whole project done. I will just leave it as is for now. Thanks for the help.

Hey I also see on an old wheel chart there were supposed
to be 7x15 and 7x16 phone dials with 52mm offset. Wouldn't those work well with a small spacer or no spacer? 7x15 = 944 352 104 00 7x16 = 951 352 114 01 These should be comparable to 911R rims with 49mm offset. Am I wrong? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |
