big_chris1981 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 erm, ive found some 4x108 wheels id like to put on the lupo.some oik told me that you can use wobble bolts to make them fit....3 questions:true?safe?good idea?cheerschris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Think they're pretty safe.Not sure if you can use wobble bolts to go up that much in PCD though. The VX boys use them to fit merc fitment wheels (going from 5x110 to 5x112) but 4x100 -> 4x108 seems like a very large jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funk-star Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Stay well clear of them rims unless your using adaptors!!!Thats 16mm extra across and that cant be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Wheel PCD is all the way across, isn't it? border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />So 108mm PCD means each bolt is 'only' 4mm further out from the hub than 100mm PCD.But still, 4mm is a pretty huge amount - I doubt you'll be able to get wobble bolts to fit without enlarging/elongating the holes in the wheels, and that's not wise.

sleeky tdi Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 As has been said I dont think said bolts will go that far, i think its usually a 2mm pcd allowance, ie 98-102!My brother has them on his alfa, 5x100 wheels to 5x98.Lee.

big_chris1981 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 so, if i want the wheels then adapters are the only option.....hmmmm by the time ive paid out for the wheel, a refurb, some adapters, i could have just bought the even rarer 4x100 versions....theyre phase 2 roanl turbos btw.....with ronal and turbo in a "bubble", as fitted to bmw 2002 turbo's.......these ones are on a pug 205 though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Wobbl nuts wont work on a 4x108 down to a 4x100 thats a ridiculous jump... Dont bother just buy the correct fitment wheels, 4x100 is THE most common out their ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 4x100 is by far the most common fitment...Only Old audi, ford and Citroen/Peugeot use 4x108...Almost everyone uses 4x100...but like i was saying... wobbl nuts should only be used to space 1 to 2mm either side... never more.

Funk-star Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 There was a set of white ones on ebay, not sure if they sold or not but there was not much interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 sorry but what are 'wobble' bolts anyway????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 their basically nuts with a "wobbling" collar, to be used in wheels with Elongated holes, ideally to drop a 4x100 down to a 4x98 or a 5x100 down to a 5x98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
