Just a quick question as there is no search button. How do you go about fitting these without doing an xe and drum conversion??
Also what sizes do they come in width wise i mean??
Cheers people.

All 16" 6,7,8 and poss 9 wide
use PCD converters from the like of H&4, Fk etc, which come in diffrent widths, to take your 4x100 and make it a 5x130
offset of d90's is important, and what ever you fit, your be reducing the offset by a min of 20mm

Thankyou JR.
Can you use the PCD converters for wheels like Cav turbo wheels or are they completly different again?

ignor that, you can go from 4x100 to 5x100, but the adapters smallest width are 25mm, so in effect your wheels would be ET24, which would be no good

you can get the 4x100 to 5x120 adapters in 15mm aswell
most d90's are around et56 i think so it wont be that hard when lowering with a bit of arch work depending on widths

Porsche are 5x130, Corsa's are 4x100.
When i had mine on i bought some adapters that were 25mm thick. Iirc the original ofset of the wheel was ET52 for the rears (my rears were 9" wide) and the fronts were ET63 (7.5" wide fronts.)

The more stuck out the wheels the lower the offset right, So the D90's offset of 56 is because its a wide wheel? Am i right or way off??

offset is nothing to do with how wide a wheel is

yep the ert is the relation to where the wheel will sit in accordance to the hub and central position of the hub, et49 is standard off set for the corsa and makes the wheel fall under the arch, my wheels are et20 7j and they sit outside of the arch but if they were a higher off set eg 40 they would catch on the inside of the rim as an example
you need to find a neutral balance between width and off set

He is right!
The offset is the distance between the centre of the wheel and the mounting face of the wheel.

et is is in mm how far from the hub to the centerline of the the wheel

I've had a lot of maths practice working out offsets after arguing with you before!
