5×115 to 5×114.3 Wheel Adapters – 2-Pack, 25mm
Best for: Enthusiasts needing a robust, hubcentric fix with precise CNC machining. This set converts 5×115 hubs to 5×114.3 wheels using 71.5mm inner bore to 60.1mm wheel bore, with M12x1.5 studs pre-installed. The adapters are forged from 6061-T6 aluminum and heat-treated studs add security. Suitable for drivers seeking a strong, centered mounting solution.
Why chosen: It combines a solid hubcentric design with an exact bore reduction, reducing wheel wobble and improving feel at speed. The 2-piece kit is easy to install, and the CNC process delivers consistent tolerances. Use hub rings if needed to ensure perfect seating.
Caution: Factory studs can be long; verify through-wheel clearance and trim if necessary to avoid interference with the wheel. Center bore seating relies on correct bore matching.
15mm Wheel Adapters 5×115 to 5×114.3 Hubcentric
Best for: Drivers needing offset correction with a centered hub fit and a 70.3mm inner bore to 56.1mm outer lip. Supplied as a 2-piece set with M12x1.5 threads. They’re designed to help align wheels while expanding wheel compatibility to 5×114.3 wheels.
Why chosen: The 15mm thickness offers a balanced compromise between tracking stability and steering response. Its hubcentric design improves centering over generic spacers.
Limitation: Some factory studs may require trimming to fit wheel clearance; ensure the studs don’t protrude into the wheel or brake components before installation.
2-Pack 20mm Adapters, 5×115 to 5×114.3
Best for: Vehicles needing a thicker spacer to convert 5×115 hub to 5×114.3 wheels while maintaining hubcentric seating at 74mm bore to 54.1mm wheel bore. Uses M12x1.5 studs and is CNC-crafted for tight tolerances.
Why chosen: The 20mm width suits applications requiring more aggressive offset correction and wider stance. The construction emphasizes consistent quality and balanced weight distribution.
Limitation: Factory studs may need trimming if too long for wheel fit; confirm wheel center bore compatibility to avoid seating issues.
Customadeonly Forged 5×114.3 to 5×100 Adapters, 15mm
Best for: Mazda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai owners needing a hubcentric 5×114.3 to 5×100 conversion. This 15mm adapter set includes four pieces with a 67.1mm hub bore to 54.1mm wheel bore and M12x1.5 studs.
Why chosen: Precise hubcentric design improves stability and handling when substituting wheel patterns. It expands wheel options for select brands and keeps alignment consistent.
Limitation: Ensure wheel bore is at least 54.1mm to avoid seating issues; trimming of factory studs may be required for proper wheel fitment.
ECCPP 4PCS 5×100 to 5×114.3 Adapters

Why chosen: The kit targets popular Subaru models and similar platforms, offering a practical solution for changing wheel fitment without compromising centering.
Limitation: Some 5-lug setups require aftermarket rings or careful installation to ensure perfect center seating; verify wheel fit before driving.
Buying Guide
- Hubcentric vs. spacers: Hubcentric adapters have center bores sized to the vehicle hub to improve seating and reduce vibration. Non-hubcentric spacers rely on wheel centering rings; choose hubcentric when possible.
- Bore sizing: Match inner bore to the hub and outer bore to the wheel. If the wheel bore is larger, hub rings may be needed for perfect seating.
- Thread pitch and studs: Ensure M12x1.5 studs match your lug pattern and wheel stud length. Some adapters require trimming factory studs to fit wheels.
- Material and manufacturing: CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum offers strength with light weight. Verify heat-treated studs and corrosion resistance for longevity.
- Offset and width: Consider adapter thickness (e.g., 15mm, 20mm, 25mm) to adjust offset and align wheel stance with fenders and suspension geometry.
- Vehicle compatibility: Confirm the bolt pattern, center bore, and hub bore of your vehicle and chosen wheels before buying.
FAQ
- Q: Do hubcentric adapters require hub rings? A: If the wheel center bore is larger than the hub bore, hub rings may be needed for perfect centering.
- Q: Can I install these without trimming factory studs? A: Some adapters may require trimming if studs interfere with wheel fitment; check clearance during installation.
- Q: Are these adapters suitable for performance driving? A: They improve centering and stability when correctly selected, but verify weight and balance considerations for high-speed use.
- Q: How do I choose the right bore size? A: Match the inner bore to the hub and outer lip to the wheel bore. If in doubt, consult a professional installer.
- Q: Will these adapters affect safety or warranty? A: Proper installation following manufacturer guidance maintains safety; altering wheel setup can affect vehicle warranties in some cases.
- Q: Are there limitations on vehicle models? A: Yes, compatibility varies by hub bore, bolt pattern, and wheel bore; always confirm fit with your specific car and wheel specs.
