Technical stud conversion - fitting 4x100 ?

[ycming]

Hey there,

Just wounder is the wee fiat had a stuf conversion (still 4x98).

Is there any way that the PCD could be adjusted to fit 4X100 ?

Thanks

If it needs spacers it's easy enough (depending on the depth of the spacers). You have the FIAT PCD and the 100mm pcd on the same spacer (8 holes instead of 4) and the FIAT ones take countersunk bolts. Bolt the spacers onto the hub and the wheels onto the spacers. You could -- best idea, this -- get the spacers made to fit the counterbore of the wierd wheels.

If the spacer isn't deep enough, you could always get some hubs made up with 100mm PCD and get the disks drilled to suit.

But a stud conversion doesn't really make this any easier.

Yup, half kinda expected that! So i guess is stuf out, wobbly bolts are the only way !

For anyone information in the future,

VW centre is 57.1 and fiat is 58.1 ..... so the only way to correct it, is to get a eng shop to make that centre hole bigger!

VW wheels? Wot are you thinking of?

Another question guys,

You recon it if safe to get holes drilled so i can have the 4x98 PCD? (obs done in a engineering shop!)

Thanks

Whats wrong with wobbly bolts or nuts????

Redrilling the whel all depends on the wheel design

I really want to keep the studs on it

I know I can get them, but the prices are rather high .

I would of just remove the stud and use wobbly bolts.

Thanks

My wobbly nuts worked fine but were cheap (as in material, not cost) and the rings deformed quite easily.

Besides by using the hub adaptors it would thro the offset off so much you wouldnt be able to use those wheels anyway

rightio ... peeps link to get wobbly nuts!! ????

Thanks

Some details of the nuts ?

MXX , 1.XX ?

Thanks

[allanhelen]

which car are these for? if it's my ex it did only have studs at the front

My wobbly nuts are designed for fiat thread studs, ie m12? 1.25.

I got them from my local wheel shop though. Not online
