Wheel adaptors/hub redrills

[MinorMatt]

Would anyone here be interested if I started producing some hub adaptors and redrilling front hubs? I nearly have all the kit to do it properly now!

you giving luke some competion now

[MinorMatt]

AFAIK Luke never did hub redrills or make the adaptors himself I believe he farmed them out (but I may be wrong)

[MONSTER 0NE]

so what sort of money would you want for rear adapters for a mk5 ?

[MinorMatt]

I don't know yet - this was a test the water post! I will have to get a few more odds n sods up together and get some material prices

Count me in for a pair... i have a Mk5 six stud 150 special...

[MinorMatt]

Six stud is a no go because of offsets

I havent found anywhere yet to get the material to make em... but I havent been trying that hard

Six stud is a no go because of offsets

Are you sure its not possible? Im no engineer but id imagine anything is possible with a little machining??
Ive just had a quote for a set of 5x160 to 5x130 and 5x120 pcd adaptors @ 28mm thick for best part of £300, im seriously considering it (due to the crap choice of after market 6 stud alloys available)! and with a little bit of trial & error find a set of decent Bmw or Porsche rims to fit, even if they need a little machining off the back of them to get the offset somewhere handy

[MinorMatt]

Basically, buy the time you have put adaptors on a 6 stud axle they will be poking out beyond the bodywork... Then consider the offset of any wheel you want to fit

pritty sure you can get them thinner - it'd save the cost of machining the wheels - theres a drawing on here i think they are 20mm thick

I have a 99 swb could you make me a set and how much would they cost thanks Colly.

[MinorMatt]

I will start looking more seriously in to material costs then!

ive just got a set of flebay for £150 delivered they are for my mk6 to take vauxhall wheels 5x112 pcd 20mm thick

spoke to the boy a few times and were talking about these he could do 6 stud adaptors to talk most 5 stud pcd

flebay company is sstyresandwheels09 or if you type in van wheel adaptors find throw that seeling for 150 and 10 delivery
BUT not the best finish on them and had to debur them myself
