Re: My 91 si build..
Diggin the wheels and love the way the olive green VC and woodgrain spark plug cover look together. I was just looking for 4x100 to 5x120.7 adapters this weekend because I ran across an old set of '80s Corvette wheels and thought about giving them a try but the only place I could find online willing to make one couldn't make it less than 1.9" thick and that's just ridiculous...

Re: My 91 si build..
nice! do you not torque the adapter to the stock lugs? I don't see where the lugs would come through on the other side. those are pretty slick though.

Re: My 91 si build..
Stock lugs get torqued down tho the first part of the adapter, then you have to trim down your studs so that the second part can bolt to the first part. Its a lil bit of work to get them on but very worth it cuz you can run many different wheels.

Re: My 91 si build..
car looks awesome!
if you contact motorsport-tech, they sell the 4x100 to 5x120.65 adapters for about $385 shipped with the hardware included.
and if you are trying to run c4 16x9.5/8.5 they are really high offset wheels. +56. so if you want to be stanced, you are going to need some pretty big adapters. my quote was for 40mm adapters, but they also make 20mm adapters as well.

Re: My 91 si build..
According to what I've found, the wheels I'm looking at are 16x8.5 +32. The thinnest adapter they listed to go from 4 to 5 lug was 35mm.
