can you make these rims fit
Hello everyone, Iwas looking for some rims and i came across these. There calles koing hot swap. I was wondering is there any way to make these rims fit or just find some other ones. But these nice because you can put an insert that's the color of your car. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...tmpHotSwap.jsp

Ask Discount....They'll know their wheels better than us.
But, regardless of whether they are a DIRECT bolt-on or not....They can be MADE to fit....with the corrects adapters &/or spacers.
If you WANT them, find out what they will fit & their backspacing, then call Skulte & get theadpter/spacers you need to put them on.

Re: can you make these rims fit
^ no that idea wont work. spacers are not very expensive. much less expensive than custon axles, and rotors
i went through their ordering process and they are not available with the 5-4.75 bolt pattern, they do seem to be available with a 4.5" bold circle, though you did not specify what diameter you wanted
these would require spacers that adapt to the 4.5" bolt pattern, but the site never states the backspacing/offset. You would really need to call/email these guys and talk to them.

5 by 4.75
and dont ask discount tire guys **** other then basic facts they wont touch a car with adapters. and they will tell you not to do it till they are blue in the face i have 2 friends that are Mgrs at discount tire and i tell you what they are all dumbasses...i ****ing argued with the guy for an hour that my bolt pattern was 5x4.75 but he wouldnt believe me because "he was the expert" even though ive owned 5 camaros. o well. what would i know.

Re: can you make these rims fit
Can I suggest you do SOME research on your own? Rather than expect everybody to repeat the same info that has been posted here 1000 times?
Without knowing the backspacing of the wgheels you buy, nobody can come close to suggest if a 1" a 2.5" adapter spacer will work.
