D1RTY6 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Can anyone please advise me on this, I'm currently considering buying some 5x114.3 to 4x114.3 adaptors as there is just no rims in 5x114.3 that are they style i want. (I'm constantly looking at Ebay Japan but have no found anything cost effective to import over yet) So my question is are these adaptors legal? can you get them cert'd? if so what type do they need to be? on another note would changing the stud pattern on my hubs be less hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Ask Clint in the cert thread, but IIRC, they are legal if they meet certain requirements & you get them certed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 It's been covered somewhere in the cert thread. They are legal but they have to meet the correct criteria. Not all the ones on trademe are legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crownin_Round Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Let me know if you find some 5x114 to 4x114 at a good price I need some of these. But when it comes to the law if they have a centre locating ring they are certifiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That's basically it. The adapter has to locate on to the hub, and then the wheel needs to locate on to the adapter. Or something like that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 from memory last time i looked; went something like bolt on's are fine with just taper nuts. but slip ons must locate on hub and wheel. plus be attached to wheel or hub in some way. either way both types need cert. maybe wrong tho, check the lvvta site, it has the info on there. fake edit: i also recall something about only being able to go to same amount of wheelstuds, or more. so going from 5x 114.3 down to 4x 114.3 maybe no go..

spiderwebfx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 A bit off-topic, but what sort of style of wheel is it you are looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1RTY6 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 A bit off-topic, but what sort of style of wheel is it you are looking for? something similar to these http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 041036.htm i know they come in 114.3x5 so might just keep hunting and hopefully find something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 get the wheels redrilled? would probaby even work out cheaper in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You can get Hayashi Streets brand new in 5x114.3http://www.hayashiracing.com/wheel/wheel.html 4 stud is standard. 5 stud costs extra according to the bit down the bottom translated in google, says something about 2000 odd yen? http://www.hayashiracing.com/wheel/matching-list.html Edit: but yea seems avaliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 But still available I think was the point. Worth every penny i'd say. I guess money talks, but buying wheels made to suit sounds like a far better option than messing around with adaptors etc. OT: they do street fins for hiace vans, hell yeah!

Yammies Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 they need to be hubcentric in order to be legal (they need the little lip in the centre that locates/centres the wheel) They ideally need to be certed, but my bro just has black discs/round plates in behind the wheel that hides the spacers. They get VTNZ WOFs everytime.... BTW 5x114.3 is a far more common stud pattern.. fits Falcons, Valiants, Nissans, Mitsis.. there's bound to be something that would work....

kpr Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 slip ons yes ^ bolt on adaptors: Wheel adaptor location2.5(5) A wheel adaptor fitted to a low volume vehicle between the hub and wheel assembly to affect a change in the wheel stud pattern, must locate with a close tolerance fit using the centre spigot or tapered wheel nuts or bolts: http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/stand ... _Tyres.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I pretty sure that that's refering to adapters which change the pcd, not the number of studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammies Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I pretty sure that that's refering to adapters which change the pcd, not the number of studs. It refers to all types of spacers/adapters, regardless of whether it changes the PCD or number of studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
