Is it legal to use adapters as I have found h&r ones from Germany that I want to use on my t5 so I can run Lorene cayenne 20's.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

the answer is no. only if they are engineered can you get away with it but good luck finding someone to sign off on it.

well if anyone would know it would be captain fantastic, sorry i mean barls.
a lot of things people put on there cars are not standard therefore not legal.
if we all carried on like nancy boys we would all be driving cars like barls.
your best using your own judgement.
go for it

flat4rat pull your head in. im going off the adrs which is what can and cant be modified. there are a lot of things that can be put on but sorry
adaptors arent one.
if you can show me one car that come from the factory with them fitted with as standard ill be quiet and go away. if you cant, go away quietly.
as for the knowledge it comes from working in the trade with someone that did blueslips before he retired.
as for my car have you even seen it. its probably more modified than most, but is done legally
also then there is the point of insurance. you have an accident and they find an illegal mod they will wipe your insurance and walk away. not pretty.

Have you read that thread? The adapter is not broken?
"This indicates to me that because of the soft metal used, the nuts gradually wore away at the metal on the adaptor and eventually would become
loose"
"most likely cause of my studs breaking is they were weak before i installed the adaptors"
Maybe he should have checked the tightness of his wheel nuts/bolts. As you should with any vehicle, adapters or not.
My adapters are for show use only anyway. I can help with any smaller pcd fit wide 5. Thanks

SPacers are illegal in Australia...
Not sure on adaptors....
depends on the load and the offset etc....
better to get new hubs rotors drilled out
