    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Wanted to know who's got 5x114.3 wheels fitted on his S ?

    Friend wants to buy my OZ Ultra's in 18x8 and I can buy Superleggeras in 18x8 and 18x9 5x114.3 ET 35

    I like the SL better and 9 in the rear is also nicer but I was contemplating on the wobble bolts safety etc and if the wheels would fit the S with them

    I was very suspicious too. I ended up getting some, and they've been perfectly fine. I just used hubcentric rings, and all was well. Not an issue at all.

    The area around the bolt holes is not so big , do you guys think the wobble bolts would have enough space to "wobble" ?

    Typically wheels designed for tuner lug nuts won't work with VW/Audi's larger lug bolts. That being said, you may run in to some issues with wobble bolts on those Supers

    I run them on my car with my 5x114.3 Volk TE37s. I had the bolt holes drilled out a bit to fit the wobble bolts. It cost me like $100 or so at a machine shop. Just use a hub-centric ring and you will be fine. I run the PCD-Variations bolts.

    Can they redrill this type of wheel? The center doesn't give you space to redrill in my opinion...

    I would just go and ask someone but I don't even have the rimz so it would be nice to know in advance of buying them...

    When you get wheels redrilled, they don't drill a second set of holes between the original holes (although that is an option on some wheels). To redrill wheels like these, they would drill out the original holes slightly larger with the centerpoint of the hole moved to the new pattern, then steel inserts are put into the wheels.

    Or, you can just run wobble bolts and be fine. They are TUV approved. Not sure where you can get them in Belgium though.

    running wobble bolts will not be an issue and is safe.

    I asked someone who does work on rimz and he sais the Rimz need to be redrilled anyway cause they come from a skyline and these use M12 bore for the holes! He quotes me 125€ for the 4 rimz!

    I've redrilled countless wheels to enlarge the bolt holes from 12mm to 14mm. All you need is a good 15mm (5/8" IIRC) drill bit. Make sure you hold the drill parallel to wheels and go to town, the existing holes in the wheels will self-center the bit.
