Wheel Adapters
Hello everyone,
There are 2 rims that i am interested in putting on my 2007 glk450. The only problem is the bolt patterns for these rims are 5 x 139.7 and 5 x 114.3. Is it possible to add a hubcentric adapter so that the rims fit or is it advisable to not add adapters? IF, it is safe to add adapters, does anyone have any recommendations for a manufacturer to go with?

Bolt pattern adapters usually need to be at least 20mm (3/4") thick. Be sure your wheel offset is accounted for and the resulting wheel location doesn't create an interference problem.

3/4 thick isnt tooooo bad. but im finding a problem finding adapters for either 5 x 114 or 5 x 120. Im aware of the 66.6 bore. anyone have a site that i can look into to finding adapters? especially with the 66.6 bore. Ive been looking for 2 days now.. just about tempted to throw away the idea of adapters and just get something that is 5 x 112. the only thing is i can get other rims with different bolt pattern alot cheaper.
