Wheel Adapters, Rohana RFX11 (19x8.5 5x112)
Howdy,
Post came up today on our local FB marketplace for a set of FIVE Rohana RFX11s in good condition with a set of new Goodyear Eagle Touring 235s. The price was so good I'd have been stupid to not pick them up; hence here I am lol. I've never used wheel spacers or adapters before and I've been reading all over about needing to do X or Y if you get 25-45mm spacers, that you need to shave your studs if the wheel bore is too short, lug-centric vs hub-centric adapters/spacers, etc. I'm a total squid with wheel and suspension stuff, all my DIY stuff has been oil/trans fluid changes and belt changes. Is there a set of good 5x100 to 5x112 adapters I can just buy and not have to worry about dying or filing my studs? I'm also super low on a set of MR coil overs but I'm pretty sure I can just adjust the height and camber to fit. Thank you guys! |

Adapters, by their very nature, are going to take up some space and add width.
Take these as an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4pc-25mm-Wh...QAAOSweyxfGYmu 25mm thick in order to have enough room for lugs to hubs. You didn't mention the offset of the wheels you got but you could very well end up with a fitment you don't want/can't use. For arguments sake and to keep the numbers simple a +35 offset is flush. Adding 25mm (netting you a +10 offset) to that and your wheels/tires are an inch further outside the fenders. The best site I've found for looking at fitment is wheel-size.com and you can quickly and easily look at different offsets and sizes. Put in your year and manipulate the OE size to be the 5x112 wheels you got. On the right hand side of the calculator subtract 25mm from what you have. +42 now is +17 with 25mm adapters et al. For the more advanced you can even manipulate actual measurements to account for things like coil overs, fender distance, etc. For real world pictures, fitmentindustries.com has a massive gallery that might be helpful when uncertain about fitment. You might not find these exact wheels on the 86 platform but you can search for just the size and offset pre and post adapters to see if anyone has made the size work and what it looks like. There are other considerations, of course, but seems simplest to look at adding an inch to all four corners first. If you can't camber your way to getting the added width under your fenders the rest is moot. Last edited by therealstoly; 02-08-2021 at 01:53 PM. |

I knew when I picked up these wheels it'd be a longshot to get them fit but they were priced to sell quick, so I figured I could resell and break even if they didn't fit. |

Look when I made the post below it was supposed to be sarcastic.
