Default Fitting saladshooters on an EG ?


Would like to fit my these corvette saladshooters on my 94 eg hatch. Believe the pcd is 5x120.6 and the hatch is obviously 4x100.
Does anyone know who makes an adapter, or where I can buy them ?

Yeah, I can do vw 4x100 to 5x120.65 adapters and they will fit but they are about $400 for the set and are not hub centric .
I could get a set of 4x100 to 5x100 adapters for about $130 and then stack a set of 5x100 to 5x120.65 (I already have these) adapters on top. together the two sets would build it up to the right pattern for my rims. Would work but probably a terrible idea, any thoughts?

Not only is that an extremely unsafe idea, but you'll also push the wheels out even further. Like Eddie said, you're better off swapping to a 5x114.3 setup and running a 5-lug adapter setup on them.

Yeah, pushing the wheels further out would be fine. Really just the safety thing that would be an issue. But yeah I figured it was a pretty terrible idea haha. Also with all the different joints, probably just a lot of opportunity for things to get out of center and stuff.
Is converting to 5 lug and buying the adapters I will need gonna cost less then just buying the $400 adapter set that go's from 4x100 to 5x120.65 ? I'm guessing not, and in that case I'd probably rather just get the adapters so I have the option of going back to my old 4 lug rims anyway. These are correct adapters though, no stacking.

A 5-lug swap will probably set you back more than $400 by itself. And, any adapter that goes from 4 to 5 lug, is technically a stacked adapter in the first place. There's a stud that overlaps your stock lug studs.

Yeah, but not stacked to the extent that actually stacking two spacers is. And it's only 1 stud out of 4 so I think it would be alright.

Yeah, and again in 2016. But that's just my opinion.
