Wheel bearings are basically a service item

Which was designed to work with standard spec parts 

[05omegav6]

If 110pcd is that hard to find wheels for, then why not replace the strut assembly with Monaro ones, (keep the Omega springs), and replace the rear hub flanges with Monaro ones as well. This would then open up a whole world of wheeled opportunity as they have a pcd of 120mm.

Of course, this will cost €€€, as even scrap Monaro parts are stupid money and that is before you try to explain to your insurers what changes you have made...

I would prefer the right pcd wheels too. But there hard to get second hand well the ones I want.

And don't wheel spacers damage wheel bearings eventually.

how do you conclude that ?  they are widely used on many countries.. and I'm also using them without problems..  my spacers weight around 800 grs and they dont create a heavy load like 18/19/20 wheels with wide tires..

I'd say that any deviation from the manufactures spec will put greater stress on something somewhere.

Agree with what said on the wobble bolts though 

higher stress in magnitude yes, but its negligible compared to those monster wheels and tyres..

how much are wheel spacers/converters?

[05omegav6]

Irmscher spacers are £50 per pair, if you can get them

[cem_devecioglu]

you can also have them custom built for your car in a machining shop ..  check where you can find T6 aluminium alloy first.. I recommend 15-16 cms diameter and 35-40 mm thickness initially as it will be cut..

ps: I used them for 120 pcd where there are many models to choose from..
 
pps: steel is very heavy so dont go for it..

cool cheers thanks
