Anyone with personal experience with wheel adapters?

[jones3000]

I'm looking for someone with PERSONAL experience, not what you've heard or read.

Here's my dilemma: I have have a set of 5x112 wheels that I want to put on my 5x100 car. The wheels are discontinued and hostly I'm not trying to fork $1,000 plus on wheels and $500 on new tires.

The wheels are Flik lex. Here it is on my Audi...(gone)


and a p chop I did of them on my 20th AE....


So I'm looking at a set of Wheel adapters....

As I stated before, please chime in only if you have first hand experience with wheel adapters...thanks.

i had borbets on my 96 A4 and got my adaptors from adaptitusa.com ithink.
they went from 5x112 to 5x120 and one inch thick, i had them on for more than a year and had no problems, i think they are safe and especially on a golf

As long as you get high quality spacers you wont have a problem. Some brands we recommend are H&R and Rouge Engineering. We have ran wheel adapters on shop vehicles before and never had a problem. Some of my friends track their cars on 20mm wheel adapters without a problem too.

I have used adapters in the past. But most of them were 20-25mm thick. If you add a 20-25mm thick spacer to the lex wheels i think they will end up sticking out to far on your VW.

Are your Lex's 35mm offset like most of them? If so i don't think adding a 25mm spacer and bringing the offset to 15mm is going to work. I run 30mm offset on my golf and it is pretty flush with the front fender fender. To get the rear flush i could probably drop down to a 20mm offset if i wanted. But the 30mm looks good and doesn't rub.
