 |
|
hello guys, i just want to inquire if my 68 std bug (4 lugs) can run the wide 5 BRMs using the 4 lug to wide 5 lug wheel adapters, my concern is, will the bolts on the 4x130 part clear the back side of brms? adapter bolts won't hit the rim?
thank you |

I have the 4 bolt to wide 5 adapters with 17” BRMs....no interference problems.
However you may have a problem with your tires contacting your fenders since those adapters will push your wheel/tires out about 1/2”. |

Yes 4 to 5 lug adapter. Used the 14mm screw in studs to bolt adapter to disc/drum. Used 12mm screw in studs for wheel to adapter. All items from CBPerf. |

| Used a 3/8” spacer to gain clearance between the spacer and caliper. |
