Bentley Wheel Compatibilty

[ItsLarryG]

I went to a salvage yard today and surprisingly they had some cool stuff to think about. One item in question was a Bentley Continental with some decent looking wheels. I think these are them except silver, though I haven't been able to find pics or information online. Looking at the Continental I assume 20x9.5 et41 hoping someone here is more familiar.

Lots of unknowns in your question. You could play around with the year model options at this site and see what the stock wheels likely were.

I found that site which gave me the assumed dimensions. This is an image off cars.com which looks similar though not all silver.

Edit: sorry, that's a 2011 Continental GT.

Now that I check a little closer, looks like 57.1mm centerbore...Surprising because the center cap looked pretty large.

The wheel would need the center bore re-machined. I know because I have test fit Bentley wheels on my car before, or rather I have attempted it. Their centerbore is 57.1, and ours is 66.6.

you can also use a hub centric wheel adapter / spacer, for example: https://www.uswheeladapters.com/hub-centric-wheel-adapters/

The wheel bore is too small for the car, no adapters can fix that. Made that mistake before.

How much would it be to machine a wheel from 57.1 to 66.6?

The wheel bore can be adapted - I've done it.
The adapter accepts the 66.6 mm hub on the car side, and has a 57.1 mm hub, along with studs on the on the wheel side. The spacer will need to be a minimum of 1 inch thick to accomodate the bolts. Call the company I listed above and they can describe it in more detail, but this is definitely a solution. The other thing you need to consider is if the new wheel with adapter will clear the brakes.

[o_o]What?! I have been searching for adapters like that for a while. You would have to get a really high offset wheel though, right, if you're trying to keep something close to stock?

Should be able to get spacers closer to 12-15mm that are wheel centric to 57.1 and hub centric to 66.56.

I have also done this same thing through US Wheel Adapters. Can Definitely be done. I have some older Audi wheels my winter set which are the 57. The adapter works great, just know that you need to know your offset because the adapters also serve as spacers that are right around 20mm. Worked fine on my A6 with wheels at ~45mm offset. I paid ~250 for the set of 4.

Not to discount you Chris, I'm sure you can do the same, just speaking from my experience.

I used to sell wheels, adapaters and spacers, Motorsport Tech can make them in any specs you need.

I adapted a set of 2008 Audi A8 20 inch rims which are 57.1mm hub size and et46 to my rs7. No rubbing.
