wheel adapters

[adummy]

with wheel adapters can you use them the opposite way round?

for example: if you have 4x100 to 5x100 adapters could you also use them to adapt 5x100 to 4x100???

Nope, not the FK hubcentric ones I have anyway.

[adummy]

could you post a pic of the type that you have

cause the ones i saw look as though it is possible just dont know wether it is safe to or not

they might be different to yours. and i know they are not "FK"

[adummy]

yeh they are the same design

how come you cant use them the opposite way round?

is it because the 5 stud are a different size hole and im guessing they have been tapped?

and the 4 stud are just straight through?

3 allen key bolts bolt into the hub from the spacer, then 4 standard bolts bolt the wheel to the spacer. A final bolt then goes directly through the wheel, spacer and into the hub.

mayn tht sounds comfusing lol

i need to change the pcd from 5x112 to 4x100 cause the 17" that i bought for my polo (but never put on because they looked to big and stupid ) i want to put on an audi a3

you know where i could get some adapters please?

[Tim_GTi]

Adapters don't reverse as far as I'm aware. And I'm not sure if they even sell adaptors that down size. It's pretty unsafe!
