Do you mean tire geometrey change???
For a bigger rim size?
I forget exactly how to do that but some one has in their sig an actual tire size calculator link that you can click on but I forget who:(

Thats me with the calculator. But i think he means like changing the bolt pattern of the wheel.

yup changing the bolt pattern or at least the inside or the rim were the hub ring would go

call a wheel specialist... we have a shop here who repairs scratched/bent/everything wrong with rims. they can also change offsets and bolt patterns..... just look for WHEEL SPECIALISTS or w/ever in your area

What pattern are you trying to fit to 5 on 115? If it's 5 on 114.3 you might be able to use "tuner lugs" to fit the wheel. If you can't find a reasonable shop I would Dremel them out yourself. Shouldn't be too much work. Good luck.

the centerbore..... you can use HUB CENTRIC rings to change the size of it.. rule of thumb for GA's: if the rim isn't 5x115 or 5x114.3, dont get it, and dont get a crazy offset, 45+mm ..............
how does this sound??
5x114 40mm or 42mm offset
18x7.5....235-40-18
114 is cool right????
Should I get 40 or 42 offset??

go 40 if you plan on putting 235's on it. 235's with a 42 offset would be real close to the suspension in back.
and it should be 5x114.3, never heard of 114
Do you think 1mm will make them wobble or not fit???? Stock is 115...I've had 114.3 in the past with no problem.....so I'm wondering about 114...:confused:

where are you seeing this 114? I can't imagine any car company would bother to change their specs by .3 mm? Then again, we drive with a .7mm difference :rolleyes:

The Zeo BZ-13 in the gunmetal...(they call it anthrocite) is the dopest wheel ever....but when you click on the wheel is says 40mm or 42mm with 5x114...maybe they mean 114.3 and are just rounding.....like its supposed to be obvious maybe...i don't know. take a look tell me what you think....also should I go 40mm or 42mm offset?
(think of a 2-door black GT1 tinted out with H&R's and an *** front with those wheels.....) CRAP I just made a mess in my pants!!:eek: :confused:
