Hi,

I'm looking at fitting some Alfa wheels to my GP.

They're 5x98 pcd with a 58.1mm centre bore whereas the GP is 4x100 with 56.6 so I'll have to get custom PCD adaptors made up (unless anyone knows where t locate some of that fitment?).

I believe the offset of the Alfa wheels is et35 and they are 7.5j wide whereas the current gp wheels are et43 and 7j wide I believe.

With the adaptors being at least 15mm wide and the wheel being wider with a reduced offset, does anyone know if these will fit?!

Any help would be massively appreciated,
thanks!
 
15mm spacers would change an offset of ET35 to ET20, basically meaning that the centre of the wheels will end up almost an inch further away from the hubs, couple that with the additional width and you're talking about wheels that will stick out really far and cause a lot of additional strain on suspension and drivetrain components. Worth it?
 
Yeah, I'm not so fussed about extra suspension wear, its only likely to wear wheel bearings out a bit quicker - no deal breaker.

I was just wondering if they'd actually fit. If rolling the arches would create enough space maybe I could do that?

Haha, yeah, be some impressive wobble bolts - I wish ;)
