I just got some rims with a 4x101.6/4x114.3 bolt pattern. I searched online for wheel adapters, and saw these mentioned... I don't know anything about them at all, so I figured I'd ask around here for some info, etc.

theres a link to an example of what I'm looking for

 

they could be called corrective bolts ?

 

I just recieved my rims for my 04 xB... but they are 4x101.6... is there anything I can do?

 

return them

 

I can't... I was given free rims by a family member, I don't want to get rid of them if I can throw them on for under $100

 

title says you ordered them, if you did im certain you can return them.
if it was free then its FREE either way you can return them in either situation.

 

I concur with the above statement!

 

yeah tell them they sent the wrong bolt pattern

 

I've only just heard of them because of your other thead...
For the sake of keeping things together, I'm going to merge these two threads.

 

Send them back...........

 

You can't use those kind of bolts on the xB. Return the wheels or sell them so you can get the right bolt pattern (4x100).

 

what kind of wheels are they? you can have them filled and redrilled, but it'll be expensive. around 100 a wheel.

 

Giovanna, he has a '98 Civic EX. I googled that bolt pattern and it came up 4x100... So I'm lost right now.

Just wondering, but why is that?

 

Think about it... the xB uses lug nuts... not lug bolts. Only way you could get those bolts to work is if you redid the entire mounting on the wheel assembly. The prohibitive cost of doing that just to get your wheels with the wrong bolt pattern to fit, you would be better off just buying a set of Eurolines direct from the manufacturer.

 

true... i guess my last hope is the fact that his old car was a honda EX, which would make it impossible for these to be a 101.6

 

If they came off a honda, they should fit... have you tried test fitting them yet?

 

as stated above im pretty sure his civic is a 4x100..the only time ive know that honda has a another pattern is on the 95 dc2 integra type-r that is a 114 or 113 x4 then went to 5 lug.

 

I dont have them yet, he's giving them to me this weekend. I'll test fit them and let you know. Thanks for the input guys

 

damn sucks to be you bad situation
