5x108 to 5x112? Wobble bolts?

[purplea4T]

As the title folks, I'm looking to run 5x108 rims on a 5x112 hub and I'm curious if I can make up the difference by the use of wobble bolts or are adapters the best solution? Thanking you in advance.

Usually wobble bolts only give -+2mm either way. you are looking 4mm so you might be stuck using adapters

Volvo/ford rims?

Too big a gap for wobble bolts sadly.

I don't know if this is right or wrong as I have no experience with wobble bolts but if wobble bolts allow for a +/- 2mm then I think you should be able to fit 5x112 wheels onto a 5x108 hub.
Yes overall there is a 4mm difference on the PCD pattern but that equates to 2mm difference per bolt.
Quick diagram (not to scale)

With the PCD measured you can see the 2mm difference.
Or is it a case of +/- 2mm on the overall PCD and not per bolt, like 4x98 to 4x100 where the difference is only 1mm per bolt ???

Cheers

You might be on to something, i always thought it was 2mm total but this pic shows it as 2.4mm per bolt

if you are gonna run them make sure you have correct spigot ring for the wheels

Guess its up to the OP whether he wants to try them or get adapters!!
purplea4T if you do try them let us know as I'd be interested in hearing.

Cheers

are wobble bolts safe enough to use on a daily driven car, my car is 5x110 and i cant find any good used wheels but there are loads of 5x112 for sale all the time

I had 5x112 rims on a 5x110 Vectra no problems with them.

Also, tried reading the pistonheads thread but the usual attitudes boil my piss. After looking at the diagrams, I think it could be worth a rattle! It's hopefully going to be a set of rims from the larger Ford family

I hate them would rather hold my wheel on with glue

So did anyone try the wobble bolts solution? What was the conclusion to the issue. Haha. i want to know if the wobble bolts is a possibility

Wobble bolts will only allow around 2mm of a difference in pcd. 4 is way too much

Think he's asking did the OP use them and more importantly did his wheels fall off!

Alright ye big tall mind reading ****

Plenty of people use them and are grand
