Hi Experts,
I tried to search for this information here for hours without any luck. Hope you guys can assist me with this.
I couldn't find any coker rims that has 5x130mm for my porche brake conversation onto vw beetle. I prefer to avoid the conversation hub if possible?
Have anyone tried 15x5 inch bolt pattern onto 5x130mm bolt pattern as it's only 3 mm difference in bolt pattern.......
5 inches is 127mm and 5.12 inches is 130mm
Help is appericated guys. |

| They make wobble head lug bolts for situations like this. I've never used them, but have seen BMW rims bolted to audi this way, a minute of searching will tell you if it would work, as this is as much as I know. |

Those wobble head nuts are a dodgy solution at the best of times but they are only designed for cars that have hub-centric rotors.
aircoolerd VWs do not so there is nothing to center the wheel properly.
You would look like Herbie driving down the road when the wheels were all wobbly.
Your safest bet would be redrilling the new pattern in between the Porsche pattern.
A friend of mine has done this so he can run Subaru wheels on his Bug with 944 brakes.
