Need HELP finding alloys!!

Ordered a bodykit for my 1.8 stilo which il post pics of soon when its fitted next month! But im also ordering koni suspension kit and 18" alloys. Although i cannot find any alloys that are 4x98mm!! Hoping that someone here will know of which alloys will fit my stilo. I have found these bsa bullet alloys which i really like:

http://www.potn.co.uk/p1000547.htm

But the fitment is 4x100mm and stilos are 4x98mm. Would they be ok? Or preferably is there alloys that are 4x98mm!


Thanks

Re: Need HELP finding alloys!!

i have 18inch kahn RSC's they are 4x100 and i use a wobbly bolt kit to get them to fit the stilo's 4x98, if you are getting 18's get a 225/40/18 tyre they fit a treat

Re: Need HELP finding alloys!!

im from northern ireland and got them from a local dealer
they are Kahn replica's called Klass wheels http://www.autoalloys.com/productdet...1%20Modded.jpg
they were £620, thats tyres, balanced, valved, fitted and the wobbly bolt kit. the tyres were federals. but i have since put on kuhmo ecsta wheels and they are a far better tyre. they fit a treat and dont scrub at all.

Re: Need HELP finding alloys!!

Right i phoned rochford tyres. Rochford tyres dont have the alloys i want in stock but said they supply special bolts which convert from 4x100 but only when you buy wheels:

http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/produ...lo&strSize=all

So i cud order the alloys off potn.com then order the special bolts off here:

http://www.alloyboy.com/product_info...oducts_id=2306

Do you think that would work?

Re: Need HELP finding alloys!!

sorry Mike, you would need to get intouch with the wheel and tyre depot u are purchasing from and make sure the offset of wheel is correct for your car and get them to supply the wobbly bolts along with your new wheels.

yes, you can do that certainly. just check its the right offset for your car.
have you looked at your local alloy shops for wheel? them wheels your after seem a tad expensive

Re: Need HELP finding alloys!!

they have a washer around the nut that keeps the 4x100 wheel in place so the bolt can move into position in the 4x98 hub.

Matt is right ring potn - 0845 3459755
and ask them to supply the wobbly bolts aswell

Re: Need HELP finding alloys!!

Are the offset right for the car or will you need spacers to make them fit?
