Getting VW centre bore to fit Renault

[jammygit]

I am looking at a set of wheels that are VW fitment (4x100, 57.1 centre)

What is the easiest/cheapest way to get these to fit ? H+R do 20mm adaptors but for all four wheel is going to cost about £210, would i be able to get the bores machined out for less than that ? or is there another way ?

you need to get the wheel center bore to 60.1 prob cheaper to get a machine shop to do it if the offset is correct, if its not the adaptors is the way to go to get the et towards the standard renault wheels, also depends on what suspension drop you have/may want in the future..........

where you located??

 

[jammygit]

Yeh the offset is et 33 which is already going to come out quite a bit as its on a trophy which is et 43. Adding the 20mm spacer to that will cause me problems.

They are BBS RM wheels, a lot will probs say not because turinis are almighty but after seeing a set with red centres and chrome lip i think it will look the nuts.

I am in slough so if anyone knows a decent machine shop that could do that in my area that would be great.

yeah need to take 3mm of the center bore at a machine shop. adding 20mm spacers will make it et 13 which will look w**k if youve got standard height trophy springs.

what lip width are the dishes??

 

[jammygit]

I will be putting new lips on and as yet haven't decided which width to go for. Possibly 3 inch for the rears and a smaller maybe 1.5 or 2 at the front.

Was considering putting the mark fish lowering springs on too if i can get hold of some to make the wheels fill the arches a bit more.

machine shop may be able to sort you. It's not a very uncommon request. your going 57.1 > 60.1

 

[mat-nos]

3" lips make them a 9" wheel i think (could be wrong) which may cause probs you will need camber/spacers....

2" all round will be best for looks/practically if you want to go lower in the future......
just imo of course.........

machine shop will beable to do it. i got my adapters sorted for £10 each. just a rough guide shouldnt be much more per wheel

 

[jammygit]

like the sound of £10 a corner and i think i will measure the arch gap with the 1 inch lips they have already and see what is possible once the centre bore is sorted.

Not unlucky for me!
It pays my wage! :rasp:

 

[Mickb]

many ppl you get asking to bore out wheels thou

 

[Plummer]

I don't think we would even consider such a meager job! :rasp:

Although I could do it on the sly.

et 33 + 3" dish will make it a negative offset and the ET is calculated from the barell side, plus 3" dishs alone will cost u a pretty penny,

probably looking at a 2k set of wheels by the time you have finished faffing
