Hi,
Where can I buy some good quality set of adapter to convert my 5x114.3 to 5x100?
I've got a set of 19s (pretty rare) with pcd 5x100 that I want to put on a new accord
I'm in melbourne btw
how much are they roughly anyway?
Are they legal? I think they are illegal

as far as i know there is no such thing as an 'adapter'
you can change your hubs to be 5X100, or even have the wheels redrilled, but there is no simple 'quick fix" for this problem

Not possible as your adapter would have to be as thick as the length of your existing bolts. That means it would be similar to using a 4cm spacer, which is a no-no.

you can replace your wheel studs with shorter ones(or longer ones like the US Guys). so it doesn't have to stick out 4cm only about the length of a nut about 15-25mm.
However Wheel spacers are illegal if their 3mm or 30mm it puts a lot of load on the wheel studs and that means that theres big chance of snapping 1 or more which could mean catastrophic failure and you losing the wheel off the car.
the only adapters i've seen have been in japan and i wouldn't use them its super dodgy. with a spacer that big the chance of failure is almost certain.
