guess that means im scupperd with that choice

i wanted the renault badge you see and ive always liked those alloys on the laguna sport tourer. now i dont know what 17s to get. Doh! i could of gone on ebay aswell and got some at a lower price. Sometimes cars are a pain in the ass.

is there anyway i can attach 5studs to my MKII172 ?

please help.

Erm, changing the hubs would be the only way I guess, but I dunno how easy it would be, seems like alot to do just to get hold of some 17s, what do they look like? are they like any "standard" aftermarket wheel which you could get in 4x100pcd?

dunno. but if you search for "laguna alloy" on google and click on the first ebay link and you see a picture of them. also on autotrader if you search for new lagunas. i like the fact th center badge is the same and it seems less cheesy than adding some random bling bling rims. maybe your right. where do you search for 4stud alloys to puton your clio. i might be able to find a simualr one. still would like those, if i got 16" in that design they may be 4studs.. im gonna have alook



thanks for reply M8

In the summer edition of the worx they show hub adaptors that let you convert from 4 to 5 stud.

Hope this solves your problem, although now you have a new one - where to get them from, in the worx they dont specify a manufacturer, you could try ringing haynes on 01963 442035, or vist their website http://www.haynes.co.ukwww.haynes.co.uk, dunno what joy you are gonna get tho.

Hmmm something like http://www.machine7.co.uk/Cart/Wheel_Adaptors.htmthese I guess, but as they are quite thick themselves you will have to get the offset to = the original offset + the thickness of the spacers - could be a difficulty.

Those woudl be the ones, yeah might need sommet like a wide arch kit, although if u have 16s as standard then i would guess u have sommet like a williams with flaired arches?
