Hi all, my first post and hoping you guys might be able to help. I have the spindles on my car and want to fit 5x205 wheels.....I can’t seem to find a kit. Any idea on my options?

| We need a little a more info. I'm not even sure what you're asking for? You want to fit the old five lug wheels to a car with strut suspension? |

| Yes that’s correct, they are fitted on a Porsche 550 replica with what I believe is 1302 brakes...drums on the rear and discs on the front. I would like to go discs all round with 5 lug wheels. Basically looking to match the original 550 look |

That’s an intriguing re-engineering using some stock pieces, good luck replacing that upper balljoint.

There are 4x130mm to 5x205mm adaptors that might work.
You can probably find them in the UK but here is what they look like and one source...
