When I finish my IRS upgrade I will end with a 5 x 130 stud pattern on the back while the front is 4 x 130. I know I could fit adaptors on the front and have Porsche wheels all round, but I really like the centreline style wheels I have. Does anyone know of a wide centreline wheel in 5x130?

As far as I know, Centerlines (at least proper ones) all came in imperial 'inch' sizes, the most common found on a buggy tend to have a  PCD of 4.75, or 120.65 mm. The Chevy station wagon ones I've got were a 5" (127mm) PCD meaning custom drilled blank drums and studs....

Anyway, why does the IRS conversion mean you have to have 5 x 130 on the rear? What pattern are your centrelines? Can't you just buy std 4x130 drums for the rear if that's the pattern they are?

All the parts I'm using are from a Porsche 944, alloy arms, brakes and driveshaft's.
