5x100 to 5x114 conversion in order to fit bbs on bug-eye
well just wondering, i got some mint sti silver bbs wheels and looking to snap them on the bug-eye
quick questions before i do it up 1)the adapters im getting are about an inch wide to convert the 5x100, how wide will these look with the bbs 17x8 on there 2)anyone got pics of a bug eye with staggered fit bbs wheels (as in the 17x8 plus the 1 inch from the adapter?? 3)will it rub fenders if im dropped on tanabe nf210s??

1. that spacer is going to change the offset on those wheels from +53 to +28. not even the 'hella flush' guys on nasioc go that low with offset.
2. how is it going to be staggered if you're going to be using the 25mm spacer on all 4 corners? 3. definitely. with a drop and that low of an offset, you'll definitely need to roll the rear fenders, probably need to pull them out, and get some rear camber bolts. |

Hmmm...I like these shoes, and it's such a good deal, but they're too small. Bah! I'll just cut off my toes!

to the op, why not just get 04 sti bbs wheels?
They will fit, but your going to need some camber bolts in the rear. There are many guys running that low of an actual offset, Im running 18x9.5 +40 with a 10mm front spacer. There are others running +22-+29 also. Theres a thread in the members gallery that is stickied just for this. |

Do it right and do the conversion kit. 6Gun racing sells it. But if you're going to all that trouble, why not get wheels wider than 8"?
http://www.6gunracing.com/products.asp Or, just get some 04 STi wheels. |

i dont know why ppl r so scared of low offsets. 17x8 +28 is equivalent to 17x9 +40, or 17x8.5 +34 as far as how it sits against the fender, which isnt that hard to fit at all. BUT, if u want less hassle Project Kics makes a 15mm lug conversion spacer that u might want to look into.

Wheel bearings are a PIA to change. Small offsets don't help. We question for a reason...

yeah, you are going to burn up your wheel bearings, suby front's are a notorious weak spot, trade the 114's for 100's, less headaches

lol, whats going on in here? password:ej20 how old are you?
Like everyone said your best and probably cheapest bet would be to sell the rims on ebay and buy a 5x100 set.....but your probably not going to do that for at least a month or two, because you wont admit you are wrong and should have done more reseach before buying the 5x114.3 |

More information is never a bad thing. If he wants, he got all the info he actually needs from the responses here, plus more. Personally, I wouldn't do it, because the price of the wheels (unless they were ridiculously cheap) plus the spacers is bound to be the same or more than getting a set of 04 sti wheels. |
