ARGGG HELP Spacer/adapter/pcd adapter.. i dont know

[1835harri]

This has been asked and asked and asked but nothing really that helps me so here i go..

I had an expensive impulse buy at the weekend and bought myself a set of gleaming 19" RS4 alloys.. stunning.. got them home..Suddenly realised ...ARRRR wrong PCD.

ET42 PCD 5X112

235/35/Z19

I know there are adapters out there but where exactly?? are they hard to come buy..
Tried ebaying to see but no matter what i typed in..nothing.

Im confused. What am i going to need to get these to fit?? or is another pointless buy

Some piccies

I'll swap them for a set of LCR wheels

 

[1835harri]

but yours dont have tyres

Have a look at these:

They only seem to be able to adjust for 2-3mm not 100 - 112.

hmm yes i saw those.. damn damn damn damn... could have bought another car for what i paid for these. lol Just out of curiosity what would you expect to pay for a set of 19" Original RS4 alloys like these. Juts to compare what i paid for them

if you got them from a shop can you not take them back and change them....

They are also going to act like spacers though, 20mm being the minimum disc size. It will increase your track by 26mm, 13mm each side. Shouldn't make much difference to handling. I'm running the same on the LCR but on 18's. Not sure what 19's would be like. Expensive kit though.

 

[1835harri]

any price examples. no they werent from a shop.

 

[1835harri]

oh dear me.. my wife is going to be happy when i tell her that its gonna cost more to fit my alloys.. lol

i really hope you get an adaptor for these as i'd love to see a real set of 19" rs4's on a leon. good luck with the long haired general mate

Buy a Mondeo. they are 5x112 (I know because I bought an expensive set of RS alloys just before I decided to sell the car, and now I have a set of 500mile 18" Rs alloys and tyres that won't fit my LC)

Maybe you could fit a set of Alhambra hubs and discs to your Leon - they have the same PCD as the big Fords, so your new wheels will fit...

 

[1835harri]

would that work??

 

[beezasport]

think its the long way round...prob best to cut your losses....put them on a audi forum and ask what you paid.

 

[jamie paton]

i wouldn't get rid just yet mate as i think it might be worth the hassle in the end.

 

[1835harri]

turns out they are RS4 STYLE not originals...

i hope you paid replica price, then. otherwise, ouch!

if you bought them in a shop and were sold them as set of genuine rims and the turn up too be a fake!!! your actually intitled to a refund because the wheels were mis-represented. if you bought them private and your able to be brave and stand your ground i would go back to the guy who sold you them and ask for a refund you still have rights.

as far as the spaces is concerened, bad idea, the minimum you can get is 15mm which puts the wheels too far out in to the arches and your going to have issues, also your going to get a bit of bump steer even if the arches clear.
