Can I make Elan M100 to adopt 4X114.3 rims?

Postby kmckmc » Fri 08.06.2007, 14:52

Hi,

I have fitted Brian's Wilwood conversion. It has a HAT, which is to be attached to the roter/disc. I was wondering if I could make the HAT to accept 4X114.3 rims. Is it a simple task just to drill additional 4 holes to the HAT?

And if I were to drill additional 4 holes to the OE rear roter/disc, it can also adopt 4X114.3 rims, right?

Am I on the right track? I found several rims with Offset +55 which are 4X114.3.

Cheers,
Elan M100 S2

Nope :roll:

the hub is still 4 x 100 PCD, u can`t change this unless u replace the whole hub assembly.

Micheal, there`s no way of getting round it. U need

7" wide rims (205 tyre)
4 stud 100 PCD
56.6 hub center
offset from 48mm to 60mm

Like i`ve said before have a look at the BMW Mini wheels
