Looks like I have a 5x120 bolt pattern wheels for my 93 FD....so I'm needing some 5x120 to 5x114.3 adapters to fit them on the car.
Wheel sizes are 18x8.5F ET22 and 18x10R ET28, so I'm thinking to get some 25mm spacers (chime in if you know of better sizes) which already comes equipped on the adapters themselves if you're wanting some extra space right?

Whats a good place to buy wheel adapters online? Any other sizes/etc I should look out for?

 

I don't know if you'll find 114. to 120 adapters. I have seen the other way around. You are going to need some crazy rolled and pulled fenders to fit those wheels with adapters. An 18x10 +0 (offset with adapter roughly) is going to stick out. I'm not sure camber and stretched tires could even work on a stock body FD.

Just an example

They are going to be thick for proper strength. You will also need to press in shorter studs.

 

I'm a big fan of motorsport tech:
Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Tech

They'll custom make whatever spacers you want and they can be hub-centric to both your hubs and the new wheels.

 

You're right actually, those offsets are a no-go. Maybe adapters are not the way to go.

Would re-drilling from 5x120 to 5x114.3 be a viable option? Basically got these wheels for free (BBS RGR) and it would really suck if I couldn't get it to work.

 

Rishie at forum vendor AutoRND.com has them in stock in the proper sizes.

 

Sell them and get something that fits?

 

Dang...Even if I sold these bad boys, It's likely that I won't be able to find 18" BBS RGRs WITH tires for less than $2k Sucks it's not the right bolt pattern cause they're in great condition.

Is re-drilling down from 5x120 to 5x114.3 a bad idea? There's a lot of info on the internet saying its bad but on the other hand lots of people saying they have no problem with it whatsoever. Can someone with experience with re-drilled wheels chime in?

 

I wouldn't redrill and I'm sure you can sell it for more than 2k. That's a pretty moderate e46/e92 fitment, aggressive e36 fitment, and weak/moderate e46 m3 fitment. Safety first and don't risk the lives of other when your wheels fall off because you were being cheap.

 

Yeah, Good point. Definitely selling them. Thanks for all your input
