wheel spacers?

[jakeE30'90]

im in school for precision metal machining and i see alot of people on other car forums asking about wheel spacers ive posted similar threads on those forums but all i got were people pretty much hating on my idea but my idea was that could i maybe make wheel spacers? i have ideas of making the spacer bolt up to the hub and then having studs for lug nuts for the wheel in the spacer itsself if anyone has any other info i could use or other ideas of how it could or could not work please tell me again this was just an idea that if i get some more info or some "it could work" type posts i will try it and get back to you

What you are speaking about is called and adapter. it dosent matter if it's same PCD to same PCD it is still an adapter...or studded spacer if you really prefer the different terminology.

IF you decide to do this please be sure to research and get the CORRECT aluminum to make them from so you dont end wrecking your car when they break.

There are many factors that you want consider before you go machining something that holds you wheel to your car.....dont want it falling off do 75 down the highway...:mrgreen:

I run flat washers to bump my wheels out. But I dont use those cheap home depot chinese washers. I get the good ones.

It's too bad they don't teach grammar or punctuation at your school.

You must mean like this
4x100-5x120

4x100-5x120 is an overlapping PCD's. You have to get creative...lol

that'd be awesome does the drawing have like dementions and tolerances and such?
