JoeA Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I don't think alfa wheels are a straight fit, you know that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JampotJamie Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) yea i know, they are 4x98, centre bore: 58 and et: 30ish.i posted in the styling section about them, and someone said (cant remeber who off hand) that with wobble bolts and spiggot rings they should be okay...But they wont be going straight on as ive gotta get smaller tyres, and maybe get them refurbed, before the show season. so giving myself plenty of time to figure everything out do you know if there are any 4x100 - 4x98 adapters around?

JoeA Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Not heard of any, however, these look ideal and are cheap as ****! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WOBBLY-LOCKING-WHEEL-BOLTS-PCD-CORRECTION-FIAT-ALFA-LANCIA-4-X-98-4-X-100-/260928710245?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc0902665#ht_500wt_1219 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh I dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously I want it the other way round. Will someone have a look at the link and tell me whether they will work for ne or not?
