yikes man, sorry to hear about all that hassle. So what do you think is the bolt pattern on those wheels then, 5X100?

Yeah that's the guess. I'm going to see if I run em up to the dealer if they can confirm.

I've been searching and cant find any where that has an adapter for 5x100 wheel to 5x112 hub so looks like i'm screwed... I'm going to try and see if the guy will give me $$$ back or re sell!

EDIT:

This looks like the one you're gonna want, but they aren't cheap. You can get them in different thicknesses too which is kinda cool

Damn dude that sucks about those wheels. That makes no sense, they shouldn't be 5x100 unless they came off of an ALMS edition TT.

I'm willing to pay that much. But the smallest they have is a 25mm=1inch It was hard to tell with out setting the car down put the wheels already look like they are going to poke. 18x8 with a ET33. I'll take a wheel off tonight and try and show what I mean. I don't really wanna poke another inch out!

Is it possible to do a TT swap?!


EDIT: These are the ones I need (i called) http://adaptitusa.com/5x112to5x100wheeladapter.aspx which I can get 20mm roughly 3/4inch said I could get all i need + shipping for $209 est. 10 days So then I'm down to space + is the $$$ worth it?

18x8 ET33 shouldn't poke tooooooo bad, but you're right, 25mm is pretty friggin big. I think you should mock them up on the car with an inch of somethin between the hub and wheel and see what they look like before you go droppin $200 on adapters

I think im going to rub at this height!!! I'm 24 inchs ground to fender! If I poke I feel like Im going to rip off my fender!

Edit: I'm going to go into the shop tonight and take a wheel off and try and lower the car on just the jack to about ride height to see rub/poke and then do a pick with a 20mm gap!
