theres been some speculation in past posts about 5 stud alloys fitting 3 stud cars, im one of those few on here that have a 3 stud car smileys/smiley13.gif which as most know means there is a limited choice of alloys.

so for me the chance that 5 stud could fit 3 stud is great, BUT there hasnt really been anyone thats said they have done this, or know anyone who has.

so does anyone know the truth? smileys/smiley17.gif

cheers peeps

defo no chance they fit, the stud are not aligned the same, one stud would fit but the other bottom two are too wide apart on 3 stud.

multistud ones are normally 8 holes and they will not fit either

would be a custom hub for 5 stud, just convert them to 4 stud mate, why exactly do you want 5 stud??

i think he just wants a wider variety of rims that he can fit as we all know the 3 stud varieties are pretty dyer with exceptions to tooras, compomotives etc

but i wouldnt have thought 5 stud would fit at all, as said above convert to 4 studs my mates done it and dont think it took him a long time at all

Just a random thought but is it possible or is there anything that exsists that is like a spacer that screws into the 3stud and is then flush and then allows 4/5 studs to be used? If you get my drift?
The drawing is pretty terrible.

Thread from the dead.

But yes there is such a spacer, and yes they are highly dangerous and unstable and likely to make your wheel fall off on the motorway ;)

Thanks lol, was only wondering. How easy is it to do the four stud conversion? What is the cost to do it?
