Dermy Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 hate to add to the plethora of stupid wheel threads but i've been searching for forever and can't seem to get a clue.first question, i've been drooling over the Sport Max "925" rims for quite some time now, to the best of my knowledge they only make it in a 5x110/5x114.3 universal lug, but if anyone knows differently, let it be heard.second, what are some options i have available in order to make a universal wheel like this fit on my S70?i could opt for getting an adapter made, but from my understanding they are mad expensive.another option would be drilling new lug holes, but since they already have 10 spaces i dont know if theres any room to do that. would it be possible to drill out the space between every other lug to make it into an oval style universal lug pattern? does anyone know what the hell i'm talking about?also, any suggestions for drilling/recommendations for a machine shop that would do this would be helpful too. lastly, if its impossible for me to make these rims fit, does anyone know of any 5x108 rims that look similar to this?

Zappo Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 ssw trexgo down to the trex wheels, i think these might be what your looking for You will have to use adaptors on those also. They don't make them in 5x108 anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 wheel adapters are an option, but the only adapters I've found to go from 5x114.3 to 5x108 are at least 25mm thick! This means that whatever wheel you'll be using must have at least a +55 or +60 offset in order for it to have any chance of fitting within the fenders (using a 25mm wheel adapter/spacer). From my experience, I have not seen many (if any at all) wheels that are a +60 offset.My advice: keep looking for a wheel in 5x108 that you like - there are many to choose from.
