Title: 120mm to 120.6mm (4.75") wheel adaptor
Post by: Aussie_Diablo on April 06, 2015, 12:51:57 AM
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a wheel adaptor and spacer for Murcie Speedline Corse 2-Piece wheel (PCD 5x120mm) and the Chev S10 wheel hub (PCD 5x120.6mm) - using with NAERC chassis and D&R Diablo VT 6.0 body. Thanks

AD,
   There is another option you may want to consider. That hub is also the Corvette hub and it is made for GM by Timken. The full line of Timken is available at any bearing supply store except the stuff like that hub which is proprietary to GM. But in their same line of bearings they have three others that are the same bolt pattern on the hub side, the same dimensions, but with a 5x120 wheel bolt pattern. They are not proprietary and easily available, should be around $100 each. For about the same price as spacers, you can fix the problem instead of having to put a Band-Aid on it.

Thanks 76mx, have contacted Timken for relevant part#'s, will post when they reply. The only issue will then be if they can supply either a) without the stud fitted and with thread to accept the M12 lug bolt (BMW X5 shown), or b) with appropriate dimensioned stud.

No adapter needed, they fit just fine on my chassis.  I'm using the same wheels and the S10 hubs.
