finding the right adapters for a 17x 8 et 35 5x110 wheel - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

TheWhiteWizard13 · 12-27-2017, 06:49 PM

So im kind of new the world of wheels.. anyway im just going to jump right into it. i just got a set of my dads old saab wheels for xmas... the only thing is that they have 5x110 bot pattern. the dimensions are 17x8 et 35. I already know that im going to have to use 5x100 to 5x110 adapters, butttt the real question is about off set and fitment. Im looking at adapters that have a 25, 20 or 15 mm thickness so the offset might change from 35 to either 10, 15, 20. if anybody can help me with what the best adapter size is, that would be great.

I would suggest that you get different wheels. But, since you asked....

The thinnest adaptor is going to be the easiest to make the wheel "fit".

You will need camber bolts, two sets, to adjust camber. This is just for the front. For the rear you will need LCA to adjust camber.

This is a 16x8 +25 with one set of camber bolts maxed out and lowered 1" on 225/50 tires. Your wheels, with a 225 tire and the thinnest adaptor will stick out an additional 5mm.

GOOD LUCK!

You have two options.

1. 15mm adapters and but loads of camber.

2. Get different wheels.

I'd go with the second option personally.

That or see of you can get them re-drilled to 5x100.

Sell them to a guy with a saab and get some wheels that fit.

The title to this thread should read “Finding the right wheels for my 5x100 hubs”

This is such a SAAB story!
