I am so pissed right now...

Spent the past 3 hours researching the best staggered wheel and tire sizes for a lowered awd fx...

Finally, after countless posts and calculations - got my info: 22x9 +20 fronts and 22x10.5 +40 rears - 265/35 and 295/30

Then, I go on to buy the wheels that I fell in love with only to realize that THEY DO NOT HAVE THE EFF'ING bolt pattern that I need ;( ;( ;( ;(

Are there bolt pattern conversions that can be done??? plz??? haha (yes, I am desperate for these)

Of course there are bolt conversions that can be done...Do you want to pay for that though?

Why not purchase the vossen cv3's? they look identical to those Niche wheels.
 
You can either buy a bolt on adapter/spacer or redrill. the front offset might be an issue though. It would be difficult to put a 1" thick (most adapter width) spacer on a +20 offset. On a +40 in back, it would work. What's the bolt pattern anyways?

So all hope isn't lost. Personally, I think these wheels look slightly better than the Vossen's and are probably cheaper. No idea why Vossen charges what they do.
 
There are lots of wheel companies who produce a similar wheel now like others mentioned (Vossen, Concept One, etc) with a 5x114 bolt pattern. GL on your search!
 
Call the company direct, they can dual-drill or custom drill them for you.

I ran into the same issue before and just had them dual-drill them.

That's the whole reason.. 1. They look better IMO (dual color, thicker spoke, and i just love the emblem on the spoke) 2. They are about 900$ cheaper.

My buddy just bought Vossens for his is350 and has a wait time of 1month while paying close to 2150 for a brand new set.

Does this mean that The wheel will have 2 sets of holes? That would look so ugly.

Oh man, I guess off to do more research.

get those 1" adapters from ebay or some other sources and add the offset to the wheels accordingly to compensate for them.... it's no different from adding wheel spacers.
 
5x112 can be done, but you would need wobble bolts. You can't just bolt them up. You could run 10" up front without issue (people go wider than that). It may be an issue if you run 10" up front w/ an adapter. That would result in an effective offset of +13 (38mm +25mm spacer/adapter). On a 10" wheel, that will rub unless you have a lot of camber or don't lower the car. But if you don't lower the car, that offset would result in the rim sticking out which is unattractive. Or you could run a mild stretch on the tire.

Your cleanest solution would be to have them redrilled. 112 and 114.3 are so close that they just machine the existing hole, you can't even tell they've done it. That way you could get your original staggered wheels and the offsets would be more suitable. Still cheaper than buying Vossens.

Wait, so this is true? I'ld think.. only 2mm diff..

Yes they do!: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/...milan-wheel-22x10-5x112-38mm-p-150720985.html

The offset seams to be fine, however, I don't know about 10" in the front.. Will they fit? Will they rub? I think i read somehwere that the max for the fronts is 9.5? I might be wrong..

You don't need wobble bolts I had multiple Benz wheels on my is300 and gs300 but wobble bolts wouldn't hurt.
 
They will bolt up since its only a 1mm difference. Still not ideal though. Matters less since most wheels are hubcentric, but still not recommended.

And OP, they make wobble nuts which is what you would use. Keep oem studs and use the new lugs nuts to make up difference.
