They are 1/2" thick so you need to make sure that you can have that extra thickness. I look at the space I have in the back and it won't work on mine.

Bill,
The unit shown in this thread converts a VW 4 bolt to the wide 5 pattern.

I'm thinking you're looking to convert you're 4 bolt to a closer 5 bolt pattern, (Porsche, Chevy, Ford etc)

If this is your plan, I'd suggest against it as these units are at least 3/4" thick and in order to tighten the spacer against the existing 4 bolt hub, you'll need to take a 3/4" deep well socket and turn it down in a lathe or open up the existing holes in the spacer. Recently, I replaced spacers on a members Speedster, 2 of them were cracked. He had 4 bolt hubs and was running 5 bolt Porsche Fuchs wheels. I choose to turn down a 3/4" deep well socket so it would fit the bolts. Whom ever installed them originally, didn't do so and the spacers were loose thus causing them to crack.

Thanks Guys, Larry your right, I do want to go from 4 to 5 stud and use a a chevy type wheel, I take your point about the alloy spacer, couldnt these be made of steel ?

I understand there is the option of obtaing blank front discs and drilling them to suit the wheel, perhaps same on the rear. this is not the option I want to take mainly due to the cost... I plan to use 17" x 8" rims as I am builiding a speedster with flared wheel wells and installing a subaru 2.5 motor

Any other suggestions ?

With that much meat on the asphalt I wouldn't take any short-cuts! I've been looking into a similar conversion and Mid-America offer disc kits for wide 5's. If you're going to have that much power with that much rubber I'd go with the right equipment on the car, it'll pay off in the long run.

They make the adapters and tons use them but I agree you are best off with the proper rotors or drums. Nothing worse than layin' a patch and the wheel comin'off.....

Thanks guys, just noticed how spoilt you are with price, in the land of OZ its all much much more expencive...... thanks for your help

VW retailers sell a stud kit for 4 lug VWs. These are the kind that you need a hex key to install. I installed my spacers with nuts on my rotor that was NOT on the car, so I could see how far they went in. I then welded the studs to the nuts so I could tighten them down with a hex key. Otherwise it didnt make since to me because you cant tighten the spacer to the rotor/drum unless you cut into the spacer.

Steel spacer would add too much unsprung weight. Porsche uses alum spacers(hubcentric)so they are safe. I wouldnt use them on a offroad car
