Is there a thread for these? link?

This post is to glorify your dog some more: I laughed out loud.

Also, good luck with the wheels.

In the front or rear?

In the past I ran a 16 by 9 et10 with a 215/45/16 and there was too much poke upfront, outback was perfect though with a roll and a pull.

If you ran a 18mm adapter that would bring the style 5 in the front to et5.

You think with et 5 upfront and a 205/45/16 it will rub? I don't think so. I may be wrong though.

Rear rub. Fronts have acres of space.

+1 I would like to know this as well as I plan on buying 18mm adapters and having et 5 all around. I have a early model too so I dont know how much different the late models are.

Shouldn't need more than a flat roll and decent springs on an early model.

Ummm. I must be missing something - don't those start out in life as a 5x120 wheel? no?

Okay there was some talk about needing to run 18mm adapters, and the draft 42 designs adapters are only 20mm at the lowest. what does this change?

Your wheels will sit out an extra 2mm, which shouldn't be too noticeable really.

I just ordered a set of the draft 42 adapters in 20mm form, so I should have a definitive answer in a week or so. I'll be sure to document the amount of roll that's needed for others interested.

i had style 5s redrilled, to 4x100. ran a 20mm rear spacer, basically like running an adapter. Rubbed in rear only on bumps. fronts I ran an 8mm, no issue.

front might stick out a bit and rub, not sure
