Putting LM Reps on a SAAB

[Jafxod]

So my buddy has a really clean 9-3 Aero 2.0T in silver, cool car. He wants to get some wheels for and loves LM's. Bolt pattern is 5x110.

He likes the ESM reps but they don't sell them in that bolt pattern. Anyone have experience with using wobble bolts to fit 5x112.

I think the only other choice would be to run adapter but I have no idea about the offsets for that.

Ary had a wheel re-drilled for a customer when he ran out of whatever bolt pattern he needed.

I've heard good things about wobble bolts, but have no first hand experience. I'm sure as with anything like this it's fine as long as you're not racing. ;)

That'd be me!

[ACHTUNG]

LM's on the SAAB would look dope.

I love Saabs (no homo)

i just looked into the wobble bolt. huh, that seems more structurally sound than i had thought. seems like a definite option.

redrilling wouldnt be that hard. but then you'd have cheap looking multi-pattern rims.

Pretty sure redrilling would more entail ovalizing the original bolt holes

i dont think so. that would create wiggle room and that can end really badly.

but they could enlarge them and then plug them with metal cylinders in the correct location.

Are saabs and vw's the same bolt pattern, because I'm seen lm reps on vw's.

[Jafxod]

no

Hmmmm possibly. Also, hubcentric rings are gonna be a must

Nothing wrong with wobble bolts. I've been running them for two years with no issue.

I'm running 4x98 to 4x100 so I can't see 5x110 to 5x112 being an issue.
