  • Wobble Bolts and Nuts Fitmet

    Hey I need a little bit of help. My car's bolt pattern is 5x100. Unfortunately, the wheels that I can find in that pattern are not that great and if they are, they belong to STI drivers and they are asking a shitload of money for them. I wanted to know what other bolt patterns (if any) I could fit on 5x100 with the right wobble bolts and what kind of wobble bolts I would need. Sorry, this is a bit confusing but if anybody can help me, that'd be great because I really wanna stance my car asap. Thanks.

    I don't think you're gonna be able to use wobble bolts to fit anything else on a 5x100. They are mostly used for german cars that the owner wants to put JDM wheels on, therefore they only have about 2mm of movement both ways. Your best bet would be adapters.

      there are millions of wheels in 5x100, I'm not gonna sit here and give you a list but you definitely need to search harder. Subaru's aren't the only cars that run that PCD

        The ones we offer are TUV approved and completely safe to use. They still use a 12 or 14mm bolt to hold on the wheel, just like stock lugs. Its just the wheel seat that allows for slight misaglinment of bolt patterns.

        That being said they are only good for + or - 2.5mm difference in bolt patterns. So you could run 4x98 on 4x100, and vice versa or 5x112 and 5x114.3. But they wont allow for 4x100 to 4x108

        Unless you find 5x98 or 5x102, which afaik don't exist, then you can't use these. Sounds like your more so looking for adapters. Besides, VW (mk3's, mk4's, old passat's, new bettle's) also share 5x100 bolt pattern, so it may be up your alley to check out differen't forums for a nice set of wheels.
