    Exclamation Frontrak Rear Wheel Adapter Help!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Alrite guys so i came across theese 35th anniversary vette wheels refinished them and stretched some tires on them. now the specs are:

    17x 9.5

    Front And Rear offset are +56mm

    Wheel pattern 5x120.65

    So my question here is since hubcentric spacers do not work on the rears on fwd a4's cause of the lip on the tip of the rotor. Where do i find some 5x112 to 5x120 regular adapters with 30mm thickness? or is that too much since the fwd's rear axles are a bit longer? thanks!



    Oem offset for example...

    9.5 is already poking out the wheel wells. Add in the adapter need to be at least 20mm and you're riding on a baja A4

    9.5 was wide enough without adapters. I really think you'll poke like a mofo in the back

    I have a pic of this


    With some other Corvette wheels

    I'm astonished they fit on his car. I personally wouldn't shove a wheel wider than 8.5 on these cars but people work some weird magic lol

    Try it out and see how it fits

    neither here nor there

    ^Why the huge sidewall?

    Also, it appears your tire is rotating in the wrong direction.
