Hello all!
I've got a set of 2003 Wolkswagen Golf rims, 16Inch, Stock, and theyr 5 bolt while I've got a 1990 Mazda 323 with 4 bolt spindles, is there such a device, maybe some sort of an adaptor that will let me fit those rims on ?
Reply greatly appreciated!

yes, they do make adapters, but they have to be special ordered for weird conversions like that and they make the wheels stick out and possibly rub the fenders. They also put excess stress onto the hubs and CV's.

Thanks for your repply, I appreciate your advice.
I was wondering if its not too bad to do that though, i have definately enough space for the tire to turn without touching the the fender guards and i like how the tires will look when they stick out a bit. The only thing I am worried about is the stress.

Thanks.

I know an old retired machinest that redrilled some Mustang axles for me. Went from 4-bolt pattern to 5.
If you know of a shop that does precise work, maybe your factory hubs can be redrilled also.

Thanks TEX =D
I am definately going to ask around. I just hope if I do get it custom like that that everything else will work out (IE. no other excess vibrations or lower durability).
Thanks again m8.

I wonder if an easier way would be to sell your wheels on eBay, and buy another set there as well. That way you've got exactly what fits.

It's been my experience that these type of things develop problems if not carefully done (and ther fore expensive).
