Default wheel adapters

hey guys i am looking into getting into a set of wheel adapters, my current bolt pattern as you know is 5x112, and i am looking for somthing that goes to 5x114.3... any suggestions? and another question is, the front wheels are 8.5 inches wide, and the rear are 9.5 inches wide, will they fit or cause rubbing?[/align]

you'll have to get your wheels drilled. i'd get a set of wheels with 5x112 to save a shit load of headache. since you have a b6, the fitment should be fine as long as you don't run big tires.

Well wait, Volkswagens have the same wheel bolts, and I see them all the time running adapters for Porsche wheels. If it works for them, why wouldn't it work for him?

because I spent 2 grand on a set of wheels n tires for my last car and only put 7k miles on them.. so they still pretty much new.. and if I can buy a set of adapters for few hundred or so then that's a lot better than losin money trying to sell them and spending more buying a new pair

It works for Audi / VW, because Porsche PCD (5x130) is a popular fitment.

On the other hand,converting Audi / VW to 114.3 PCD (Toyota fitment) is not popular, so adapters may have to be custom made.
