4 stud to 5 stud

[ctrain]

i attained a pair of simmons b45 but i found out that there 5 stud and ,my ta22 is a four stud, is there any way of fitting these on without modifing the car that would take its originality away?

[Draven]

5-stud hubs would be the best way, but they're not original (then again, neither are Simmons ) - I have nfi which hubs, if any, would be suitable.

bolt-on spacers can also do 4-5 stud, but that is not always fun for offsets

Sell your wheels and buy another set with the correct stud pattern. While it is possible to do a 5-stud conversion it will cost you a lot more than buying wheels.

Buy a set of 4 stud centres.

Buy from who?

retro/classic wheels in sydney still have simmons stuff, but best bet would be ebay, or buying another type of classic wheel in 4x114.3, take a look on the ae86 sites as alot are for sale on their.

[CrUZida]

There was a company that advertised that they had all the Simmons stuff.
Could be who Julz listed above, I can't remember.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

They probably had old stock, but I didn't think anyone was making any new stuff. They'd have to have some laying around.

[CrUZida]

Nah, read somewhere something along the lines of "we've acquired simmons xxx" or something.

Will have to try and find it.
May have been in PSC

Ahh, appears Retro wheels had been handling production of sub-16" wheels for Simmons for a while anyway.

[Julz01]

yea it is retro wheels, they have been handling sub 16inch simmons stuff for a while now but since simmons closed up I think they are also doing over 16inch stuff.

But yea its just new old stock pretty much I was going to buy some deeper outers for much v4's but just endup getting new wheels cause it wasnt really worth it.
