Hi all not been working on cars for a while & thought ad upgrade first build on a few things
so Ive never liked the 4 stud wheels
bought a new set of 5 wide all 4.5 in width with wheel adapters
but fit great on rear but got discs on front
& they wont fit because caliper is proud of disc by about an inch
SO any ideas? apart from shelling out on pricey 5 wide disc conversion

About time you got your hands dirty Olly
. Might have something at home that'll do the job. I'll have a look when back from work.

Wow great work Heb
mmm because wheels are chrome unable to do that
but only other way is to see if i had the adaptors like yours Rich with a shortend beam & tyre change ????

Those adapters and a shortened beam should do the trick without a tyre swap? Will you do the beam yourself??
