looking for set of 4 s2 5x112 pcd hubs

[Jamo]

im not sure if it would be safe to redrill the hubs to 114.3, the 112 holes are already at the edge of the hub. you are going more than 1mm out, it is not worth your life. get a new set of the same wheels with 5x112.

That is my other fear http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showpos...0&postcount=26

yes, too close IMO



4x108 are even smaller in diameter BTW

bloody hell! didnt realise they were that close, infact it hadnt even occured to me to look!

so hub adapters or nothing then, dang it

what wheels are you talking about? somebody may help you find the right ones.

ive got a set of 17" BBS LM's satin gold centres with polished Lip, the rims on there own reatail at £2300 + the nearly new Bridgestone Poteza's on them..

the problem is 5x114.3

was just thinking about the edge of the hub being so close so re drilling from 112 to 114.3 not being an option, but what if i was to have the new holes drilled to M12x1.5 instread of the M14x1.5 thats currently being used, this would bring the hole back to the same place +/- .15mm

Did you see my earlier post? Have you tried one on your car yet?

get RS2 hubs, being 5x130 their should be no problem to redrill them to 5x114.3

It aint that simple redrilling hubs especially the RS2 ones.

a) What do you do about brake disc bolt patterns?

b) RS2 hubs on the front are a straight swap on the Avant, on the rear it is not as you have to change the handbrake and cable and caliper ( drum handbrake in the hub, changes the hat height of the rear discs )

A lot of hassle, in saying that i'm in the same position so I can talk

sorry
but the brake disc problem is the same for any conversion to 5x114.3
and the wheels being way more expensive then a rs2 rear brake conversion it might still be a solution

Your 100% right which is why i've been pushing the pcd adapters

sorry hadnt taken on bored what you had said in the previous post, I havent tried one yet, just assumed that they are made exactly as designed, will give one a go..

there the same wheel as in the link below, but with slightly less dish, i think there only 7.5 wide

There is another option, i'm not too hot on them though and it's wobble bolts http://www.priracing.co.uk/product.php?xProd=1168

I don't think they'd be of use in this case though

[avants2turbo]

ive seen a lot written about these, and did some calcs a while ago, stress/strain etc. mostly sheer stress on the head of the bolt and to be honest couldnt see a real problem with them, as long as the correct spiggot rings are used and everything else is correctly torqued up, you can even buy these bolts with TUV approval, so they cant be that bad!

In all fairness to them, it seems to me to be quiet an elegent solution to the problem, but still in my opinion not the right one! If i was to buy a car that had the incorrect PCD wheels fitted with these bolts i would wonder what else had been "bodged" for what of a better word, which is why when i found these wheels, very cheap, i thought a better solution would be to get it done properly and have it all re-drilled, but the lack of room for movement on the hub is quiet a setback!

im still thinking the redrilling of m12x1.5 may be another solution.

if i was going to go to the trouble of RS2 hubs, i would not use the LM's id get a nice old school set of Porsche D90's or something similar available from the porsche range

The other option is to have them made mate by a local machine shop ( Thanks to Sal for that suggestion for myself also ).

Hubs are like rocking horse sh*t to be honest

what sort of price would custom hubs set you back? I'd expect around £80 a corner unless you got someone to do a good price for a set?

I've just picked up hubs from an avant so I don't need to do anything like this, just got to fit them now.

ah didnt realise...

can you buy new ones, if so any idea on price? or if hubs from any other car from the VW/Audi stable fit?

Last time I saw they was around £80 each.

Your saying about custom hubs, dont mind paying £80 a corner for them if they are custom made, but where would i get this done? Where can i get a technical drawing of a s2 hub, or the tecnical spec of the hub, anyone got a scrap hub, ive got microstation so can draw it up
