3.75 to 4x100mm adapters

[Oscar]

Hello,

 

I ordinarily would shy away from bolt in adapters but considering the curb weight of a Seven i think it wouldn't pose any health risks. Anyone have any experience or recommendations? In a perfect world I would be able to easily source stylish 3.75 PCD wheels in 15" diameter.

 

on a purely aesthetic note, anyone have a picture of a 14" front 15" rear or 15" front 16" rear? I think the car would support it nicely.

 

Thanks

Oscar

Oscar,

 

Before I went with my current wheel/tire combo, I used adapters on my Stalker. The adapters were custom built by A-Dapt-It USA. I have links below to my build file from back then as well as for A-Dapt-It USA.

If you look at some photos (or the real thing) of the earlier C6 Corvettes (1999 for example) it might give you an idea of what different front and rear wheel sizes will look like on a car. The C6's had 18" rear wheels and 17" front wheels. For what it's worth, here is a photo of a track roadster I built. I used 16" on the rear and 15" on the front.

I have 4 x 4 1/4" to 4 x 100mm adapters on my Caterham. They are 28mm thick and were made by a local machine shop. They have been on the car for about 15k miles with no problems. With these I can run my 38mm offset 7 x 15" Miata wheels with 205/50 tires on the front and 225/50 on the rear.

Xcarguy your roadster is awesome! Ive seen the larger wheel on many cars just havent seen it on a caterham yet. Adapt it has 3.75 to 4x100 spacers! very cool thanks for the link!

 

Scannon thats the exact tire widths I am interested in. I've seen a few pics with sevens with everything from 13" with 70 profile tires to 16" with I'm assuming 40 profiles and the 15" seems to be the sweet spot.

 

Thanks. Im going to visit the car this afternoon with a vernier caliper and make sure its 3.75
