ATLANTA

Hey guys, I visit here a lot to read and learn the wife is serious about getting a sc 430. I have a set of staggered 20" maya rims I got from my brother they are a mercedes bolt pattern. do you think I can run adapters to make them fit a 430?

Running an adapter will work, but it will depend on the specs of the wheels. Remember when adding an adapter, you push the wheel out farther than where it's suppose to sit. Another option is to have the wheels machined for inserts, this will correct the bolt patern to what you need it for.

and all will be such a pain in the *** that you are better off, and safer, to just sell what you have and buy wheels designed to fit the lex...

U can get them drilled out to fit 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Previous owner of my Lowenharts(same maker of Maya, which is Dazz) had them on a Benz then shipped the wheels to Cali so Dazz could drill em to fit a Lex.. From what i remember it wuz expensive to do with the shippin and all. u should check with local shops bc they can do it too. I wanted to put a set of Maya Dubs from a Benz last yr on my GS and found local shops who could do it up here in NYC.. Not cheap though. Hope this helps..

depending on the wheel, this may or may not work... exposed lug wheels you would not be able to do this... covered lugs, ok...

again, by the time you spend all that money modifying them, you will probably be able to sell them and buy new correct...

He wanted to know how to make em fit.. it was only a suggestion bro.. Im not gettin into the monetary aspect of it, just what could POSSIBLY make it fit..

oh, I know... I was just making sure he was aware of what it was going to take...

without thinking, even I sometimes, end up spending more trying to make something work, rather than just getting rid of what I have and starting new...

Porsche wheels are offset 45 for the 18x10s. I just bought adpaters that push it out to offset 30. It should be more like 33 , but 30 is good enuff.

I'm in Atlanta too. There is a shop on Peachtree Industrial that fixes wheels.
