Wheels with spacers and wobble bolts
« on: 16 January 2015, 07:52:55 »

Hi All,
Right a few quick questions i have got some h&r spacers and i have seen a nice set of wheels but they are 5x112 so will need wobble bolts. Would this be o.k and also can i get wobble bolts that are that long i reckon it would be around 40mm bolts that i need.

Thanks for any advice guys.

While wobble bolts are safe they do state they are not to be used with wheel spacers. I think really you should be buying 5x110 to 5x112 hub adaptors.

I'd say no to either, but a definite no to wobble bolts.

Personally, I'd get a set of rims with the right ET and PCD.  But if I was forced down a different route, I'd only use proper adapters.
