I was wondering if anybody on the forum has done a 4 to 5 stud mod? I'm looking at either 15 / 16 inch rim size, just not sure on all the dimension to take into account when adding a spacer. how far can I go, how do I measure this on my Sapph for clearances etc. Reason why I'm asking as in my country there is not much option for 4 stud rims and more on the market for 5 stud for bigger sizes. To import from UK / Europe is to costly at the moment

What are the wheel options like? looking for more period correct late 80's 90s style alloys or a decent set of 3 piece rims

What PCD should I go for or can someone recommend?

What is the kind of offset that I would need to consider

What do I need to look out for om the spacer / what material is best

do you put the brake disc on the hub first and then put the spacer or the other way around?

Looking just for on a stock suspension setup and stock brakes. May upgrade the brakes later to a 4 pot system on the front and keep stock disc brake setup on rear

Suggestions and advise is welcomed.

Cheers

 

The PCD would be 5x112, as you can use hubs from a Scorpio or Granada (naming is depending on market). For other PCD you would need to have hubs specially made.

The wheel offset, size, etc. would remain the same as with the 4 stud.

 

Unfortunately I cant use those as I don't have access to them, plus later stage going full 4x4 upgrade so using hubs from XR4x4.

So my plan/idea would be an adapter spacer hub of some sort. I would anticipate changing the PCD. the hub side of the adapter would be the 108 and then the outside PCD would be what ever is good for common sizes or maybe keep the 5x112? What is a common PCD size on 5 stud with 15 / 16 inch rims. Has anyone tried something like this before on a Sapph?

Cheers
