So there is a wealth of information out there on how to get 5x130 wheels and better quality axles and cv's for our cars.
I am well aware of the 911 hubs or drilled hubs or even adapter plates. Depending on your application, even drilled or 911 hubs need a spacer to fit the rim and tire correctly. So if I were to drill my hubs to 5x4-3/4 (chevy pattern), it would open my world up to literally hundreds of wheel and offset options. Has anyone else done this? does anyone sell these? Surely the racing crowd must use another wheel pattern as not to damage quality 911 rims, or to possibly save weight |

I think if you are into the fuchs wheels look, which is quite popular I might add, it makes sense to go to 5x130. But really if you want to try something different, you have to go another route.
As for taking away from the' genuine Porsche ' look or the resale value, my car already has a chevy engine, so I don't see wheel pattern changing much. I also have a wide body so I want a certain looking wheel with the right offset and I don't want to use spacers I was just wondering if someone either had done it, or had a set, or was considering it and had some advice.... |
