Not perfectly since we have 5x112. I read a post last week about using "wobble bolts" to make other spacings fit but I know nothing about them and wouldn't do it on my car. I'd keep looking - friend of mine just found 17" Moda wheels for $100 in 5x112. They're out there.

Wobble bolts are for 5X114.3 to fit 5X112.

You can re-drill the wheels to be 5X112.

they make 5X100 (TT bolt pattern) to 5X112 adapters, maybe they make the same thing for 5X110?

why wouldn't wobble bolts work for 5x110? that's less difference than 114.3.

I've always wanted to see cobalt ss wheels on a b5

I'd say the parts would be too small for 5X110 and wouldn't sit the way it's meant to sit. I'm sure it will work, I just don't know how safe it will be.

Also if anyone plans to rub wobble, make sure the wheels are hubcentric to prevent vibrations.

I think if the the cobalt wheels use m14 lugs wobble bolts should be fine since they are supposed to fit anything like 2-3mm different. according to a quick search, cobalt hubs are 65.1mm so hubcentric rings would be good to use.

edit: these wheels?
