HI all. I was looking at assorted threads about wheels and such on this site & others. Don't worry, not starting a thread about backspace & such; but one about original 4 Lug Rotors being drilled and fitted with correct studs for mounting a 911 style 5 lug Fuchs.
I have a set of Fuchs 6x15 absolutley perfect and completely polished. These are OE, 901. wheels and weigh almost nothing, left over from a 69 SWT long gone. I was planning to put a set of 195x65 Dunlops on my orig 4 lug Fuchs BUT the polished 5 lugs would also look very nice.
I've never been a fan of the bolt on adapters for both safety and they push the wheel way out to the fender lip. I was thinking of buying a new set of rotors for all four corners, have them drilled to the correct 5 bolt pattern, with installed studs to do a whole rotor changeover and preserve my original 4 bolt stuff. Some expereinced guys said this is the way to go, but not lately.
Anybody in the business or a machine shop out there have these sets for sale made up with new Zimmermans? I could not seem to find any, nor anyone who offers this service. Is there a reson, like this is a bad idea for some interference reason, or cant be done, or not safe, too difficult to set up to get drilled exactly right, or ???
All inputs appreciated. Thanks,
George
