  • RS2 hubs & Porsche wheels

    does anyone know how the RS2 accepts Porsche wheels?

    Are std S2 hubs used together with adaptors?

    Or are RS2 hubs different from S2?

    Any part nos. & prices ??

    RS2 hubs are 5 x 130 whereas S2 hubs are 5 x 112, IIRC the RS2 ones are not quite the same as Porsche hubs, not sure what the difference is but i am sure there are differences. I'm sure somebody with more knowledge than me will be able to clarify this. .I have adapters on my S2 so that i can accept 5 x130 wheels..

        AFAIK the rear hubs need a lot of work and the hub carriers need to be modified to get the handbrake to work. The Porsche disks use a small drum brakes inside the rear disk. There is a big post on this way back in the brake section. the best option if you want to fit porsche wheels to your S2 then get some adapters 5 x 112 to 5 x 130, ther was a post on this in the last 2 weeks.

          This talks about the work required, unfortunately the work required is not shown the links are blank.

            just know about how it is on the front.. but you also need brakes... the easyest is to ask somebody to make a adapter spacer plate

              HR makes all in one spacers. 20+mm spacers for those large Porsche offsets and changes from 5X112 to 5X130 at the same time.

                thanks for the info guys.

                David - I posted a query on spacers a couple of weeks ago - just wondered if changing the hubs would be easier or more cost effective - it certainly doesn't look that way.

                I haven't yet seen any spacers with centre spigots - just a bit concerned about using only the bolts to maintain concentricity.

                I'd like to possibly have some made - I can draw them up no probs. I work at an engineering company - it used to be great for 'home orders' - the guys on the machines used to be more interested in 'doing a homer' than normal work - but like most things, that loop is now closed.

                Any-one know of a good engineering shop?
