I just put some 5x112 wheels on my 5x114.3 car. Check out these variation/wobble lugs: http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com...&prevstart=320

wow
I've NEVER ever heard of this product before.
sounds very interesting. and cheaper than the other options of
1) adapters - about 45-50 a piece
2) redrilling - about the same
so, how is the ride??
THANKS for the post!

i wonder if it would work on 5x112 wheels that have been re-drilled 5x114.3? Even with hubcentric rings and regular nuts..there is still some wobble/shake. So using this will eliminate it?

Sorry to mislead you guys I have not tried the lugs yet. I have only test fit my 5x112 wheels on my car. I still need to buy tires.
There are 2 major items to be considered. Center bore and lug bore size.
1. Is the wheel bore large enough to fit on your car? If not you may have to machine the bore on the wheel. I have a Q45 center bore 66.2 and my wheels were for Mercedes with a bore of 66.6 Also Mercedes uses 14mm studs and Infiniti/Lexus use 12mm so the studs will fit through.
2. Is there enough clearance in the lug bores for the lug nut to sit off center and still get a socket on the 19mm variation lug? This one is gonna be tight. You may need a thin wall deep 19mm socket.
I don't want to run adapters so I will be trying these lugs very soon and will post for info on ride quality/vibrations etc.

The VW guys use the bolt version of these regularly. They're referred to as "Wobble Bolts" which makes it sound like there would be issues, but I've never heard any of the VW guys having issues. Raderwerks sells them as 14Twelve bolts and lugnuts.
Here's a gif showing how the bolt version works.

btw, we might be in the same situation. I have a 2000 Q45, and I have decided to put lorinsers (that I also have for sale) on the car.
is this similar to your situation?
thanks. and please, post photos of you car up when you're done!
