i have a 04 g35 sedan 6sp manual.i scooped up a set of mmr wheels,19x9.5 inch with tires for a good price,but they are off of a 08 volkswagon r32. the bolt pattern for the r32 is 5x112,the g35 is 5x114.3,i heard they make adapters but i cant find them or kno which ones to buy.any help would greatly be appreciated,thanks guys

Hope you can get your money back..

 

+1.

I'm just curious how you bought these without asking the bolt pattern?

 

face palm !!!!!

 

it can be done provided the offset isn't too agressive on the rims. Wheel adapters will space the wheels out around 20mm so keep that in mind. Ive read that adapter does exist but you might just be better off selling those suckers and buying proper wheels with proper bolt pattern/offsets.

 

sell them and get the correct wheels.

 

which mmr wheels did you get? if they are the gt5s would you be willing to sell just 2 of them? i want to do a 19/20 combo.

 

I've been looking at this as well and there is an adapter.

Ahh, just take a round file and get to work. Its like a mm in each direction.

Seriously, if the deal was good enough, you can get them milled to fit. The finish would depict whether its worth is i guess.

 

Those are adapters and spacers combined. They will push the wheel out more by the thickness of the spacer.

I suggest you start with figuring out what wheel offset you want to get the look you desire. Then do the math to figure out if you can salvage this mistake with an adapter/spacer or if you need to change out the hub to a new bolt pattern entirely. The math might say these wheels have too much offset to begin with, regardless of bolt pattern or spacers! Start with the FAQ as it lists common wheel size/offsets that work.

Like others say, it might be easier to resell these wheels and buy the right ones to begin with. Good luck!

 

You take a risk anytime you run adapters/spacers. Pushing the wheel out does increase load on the lugs. If you use an adapter that is not well made and has loose tolerances, you can potentiall watch your wheel pass you on the highway. I have personally seen it happen.

My opinion...if you need spacers/adapters to make a wheel work, then the wheel does not fit your car period and should not be used.

 

if you wouldve read the post the first time,i knew the bolt pattern,they are 5x112.but i was told i could get adapters,and considering i payed $180 for 4 wheels in excellent condition and 4 brand new toyo tires.and i tryed putting them on for ****s and giggles,and they actually fit right on no problem,kind of weird,i just need a bigger tire size,the tire on there now is 225/35zr19,i want a more meaty tire for a better ride and maybe lower the car a inch.what size tire should i go with? heres the pic

 

Were they stolen lol jk but yes tires are a must! You have what 6 finger gap

 

haha pretty much stolen from my buddy,he lost his liscense and parted out his r32,he needed money fast.yes i need tires but i dont know what size to get,they are 225/35zr19 now but what size should i get for a meatier tire without rubbing,considering its going to get dropped a inch or two?

 

Double check the hub sizes first before deciding if they fit. You might need hub adapters. You want the hub of the rim to ride on your g35s axle hub. If there is a gap, it will stress the lugs, especially with a mismatched (although slightly) bolt circle.
