5x100 to 5x110 Wheel Adaptors
- Thread starter cooky25

Hi all, bought some wheels being told they were 5x112, turns out they're 5x110
Anyone know if its possible to get 5x100 to 5x110 adaptors?
I've looked through eBay but had no joy, not sure if its a common adaptor or not?
Any help would be great.
Cheers
Hi there, I think I've seen them for sale at DPM on here, you maybe able to use 5 x 112 adaptors with wobble bolts but I'm not positive.
5 x 110 is Vauxhall I believe?
Hi mate, yeh just saw them too actually but tbh not sure i wanna go spending £250 just for adaptors. Was looking for a cheaper option.
What are wobble bolts? Heard people talk about them, had a google but they dont look any different to normal bolts?
Yeh your right, it's Vauxhall with a 65mm centre bore.

Most adaptors will be expensive due to the width they need to be for them to be safe, they're normally 20mm roughly
The bad news is that you won't get wobble bolts that'll adjust to 10mm difference so without adaptors the wheels won't fit unless you can get the wheels machined and have the 5 x 100 stud pattern drilled in too then you'd just need spigot rings
As for what is a wobble bolt
Wobbly bolts have a 'floating' collar that seats on the wheel mating face. The collar is around 2-3mm oversized with respect to the shaft, giving it some freeplay.
This freeplay allows the bolt face to seat on the mating face correctly if oversize PCD wheels are put on. The typical oversizing is 2mm. Eg: It allows you to put 100mm PCD wheels on 98mm hubs.
As far as satefy goes, I cant see why theyre unsafe providing the floating collar engages the wheel face OK, and the threads engage correctly and the wheel can be tightened to the right torque

Asked a few eBay sellers and these should do it:

cooky25 if i was you i would save my money on adapters and sell the wheels and buy some that will fit
You'd still need adaptors though unless you've got 5 x 112 hubs mate, you can get away with the 2mm with the wobble bolts
However you won't be able to line them up if you've got the 5 x 100 hubs the mk1 has because the holes will be 1cm out of alignment and you're not going to get a bolt that'll adjust that much.
So you can either do as Wayne said and sell them and get some that fit or the other options are
5 x 100 to 5 x 110 Adaptors (5 x 112 would be better suited but then I'm not sure you could get wobble bolts in the longer length so you'd need to check on that first
The other option would be to take the wheels to a machinist and ask them to drill a 5 x 100 stud pattern into them however I'm not sure where / prices that you could get this done
TBh im quite happy with the wheels:
Picked them up for £250 with good tyres too, and my 5x100 to 5x112 adaptors were only £70.
So with wobble bolts asweel all together it'll cost me £360ish for wheels with tyres.
Yeh i'll keep my 5x100 to 5x112 adaptors and use wobble bolts to fit the wheel to the adaptor.
Cheers for the help!
