5x115???
So I just bought some foose DF-5's. Couldn't pass up the deal ($600 for all 4). They are 18 x 8.5 with a 42 offset. But the lug pattern is 5x115. Anybody know where I can buy the adapter kit to make these fit? Thanks in advance.

You might try eBay... http://compare.ebay.com/like/1206135...=263602_304662
Remember to add the width of the adapter to the wheel offset to see if they will fit. |
those are 115 to 114.3.... But I'll check out ebay. Most people are telling me not to even worry about it, and just put them on. Shouldn't have a problem with it.

The only problem is that the lug nuts might not seat properly since you're moving the studs to the center of the wheel. Can't hurt to test fit them though.

Um. That's exactly what you would need if you wanted to do it somewhat right. I'd be worried about just trying to bolt them on. The lug nuts won't seat properly and you could run into some issues, wobbles, shimmies, lugs breaking, lug nuts coming loose, or the wheel falling off. You're talking about a pretty decent size difference.
Right now the wheels are 42 offset, so if I add the 12mm of the adapter, thats 54mm now. Is that too much? |

No my car is 114.3 and the rims are 115 so I need a 114.3 to 115 adapter. You're talking about .7mm difference. when measured in inches, they both still come out to 4.5.
Right now the wheels are 42 offset, so if I add the 12mm of the adapter, thats 54mm now. Is that too much? Actually the 12mm adapter will make it +30 kinda which would still fit. |
They can drill them and install inserts that work. Not sure where in your area but I have seen it done.

Nope, dropped on Tein S techs. If you drive around with a bunch of fat chicks or a bunch of dudes you will need a fender roll. But hell if you are worried, get a roll, it only cost about $75.00. And please tell me you didn't get chrome. |

I'm having a hard time seeing how these will look on an 8. Guess I'll wait until you install them...
