im offered a set of wheels that are 5x108 lug pattern and the tC id 5x100 will they fit at all or do i need an adapter

 

No they won't fit. I'm sure you could probably find an adapter online somewhere.

 

oh man and the guy is givin me a great deal on the rims if the adapters are put on would the spacing of the adapter make the tires rub??

 

That depends on several factors. What are the specs of the wheels? Also, do you by chance have a pic of 'em?

 

i dont know much info on them i know they were on a 03 ford taurus and i believe the lug pattern for that car is 5x108 and tomorrow i will see him at work ill ask to take pictures and what do u mean it depends ....is there still hope lol??

 

After some quick Google-ing, it seems that most spacer/adapters range in thickness from 5mm-60mm. I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that an extra 5mm added to the hub won't require new studs. I found this site which makes custom spacer/adapters:

Maybe try shootin' them an email and see what they say.

Fitment depends on more than just the bolt pattern. Diameter, width, and offset (in combination with tire size and suspension) dtermine whether or not a wheel will fit.

 

well the tires are kind of thick themselves and with a adapter they may rub ......the tires are 225/40/r18 if that helps....so is there a big difference in the bolt patterns because my cousin thinks it wouldnt be much of a difference and they may fit but we dont know??

 

i wouldnt risk ghetto rigging wheels man, theyre the only thing connecting you to the ground. im sure you can find a adapter somewhere, except im not sure if they even make 5x100 to 5x108 ones. 5x108 is kinda rare for bolt pattern. but if you get the 225/40/18s you wont rub. even with a 5mm spacer. oh and you dont need need extended lugs for 5mm spacers.

 

whats the offset? i suggest getting them filled and redrilled to 5x100.

 

Just an idea.

damn, 5x108? surely you can find some 5x100 wheels. I had 5x108 on my last car (Taurus SHO) and there isn't much good because so few cars use that pattern.

 

thanks for everyones help but i guess i might as well save up some moremoney and buy a new wheel and tire package

 

Ferrari uses 5x108 LOL

 

I wish I had known that when I had the SHO

 

i have some nice 5x108 enkei's ive been trying to sell lol, they are very nice and few cars have that pattern it sucks

 

try Volvo and Taurus forums, those are the two I know that use the pattern

 

ya i know the tuarus has that along with jags, damn they are nice i wish someone would buy em lol, theya re the enkei MM2's
