Technical 4x190 -> 4x98 adapter?

[JumpJet]

Does anyone know if there are any adapter plates for mounting 4x98 wheels on a 4x190 brake drum? I've seen plenty of ones that 'go the other way', but nothing in that format. I imagine it would use bolts to attach to the drum, but studs to attach the 4x98 wheels. Just looking for a temp solution rather than swapping out the rear brakes for the time being.

Thanks.

I think you’re gonna have to go straight to 126 series 2 drums, that’s what I did but at the time I wasn’t looking for an adapter as I had issues with my front setup and offset. Someone asked the same question on a 126 forum and no one answered. And the oracle AI, ok I jest, but it doesn’t hold much hope

Hi Matt; I have never seen "190" to "98" pcd adaptors. The problem when doing that is that on the rear, the adaptor would have to be concave shaped in order for the "98" bolts/studs to be clear of the original drum-to-hub bolts whilst the perimeter of the adaptor was bolted to the "190" drums. This would significantly INCREASE the vehicles track, which would almost definitely cause the tyres to foul on the wheel-arches. On the front, where the drum is held in place by the wheel-bearing, the adaptor MAY not have to be as offset (in order to clear the hub-bearing cover) as it could just have an "open" centre---but it would still significantly increase the track, with again, probable fouling of the whee-arch. Silly suggestion-----why not use your new skills with the "3D" printer---print some in a hard plastic, and if they work WITHOUT causing any wheel-arch fouling, have them made in steel. Just a thought!
