VW rims?

Post by BeaArthur »

Anyone ever use rims off of a Volkswagen on a Lanos?

The 4 bolt VW rims are 4x100, and their hub size is 57.1mm, whereas our Lanos' hub is 56.6mm.

Anyone know if .5mm is enough to worry about?

if you want to use vw rims you must make litle ring (adapter) which must put beetwin rim and hub. best if you could make ring from some metal (not use plastic stuff). with this ring you may mount vw rims on lanos

I didn't think they'd make rings that small!
