Jos et pysty päättämään, vaikka vanteita on tarjolla laaja valikoima, kannattaa harkita vanteita, joiden PCD on täysin erilainen. Voit sovittaa nämä vanteet levyyn tai rumpuun käyttämällä vanteen sovittimia, jotka toisaalta sopivat Volkswagenin levyyn tai rumpuun ja toisaalta niissä on valitsemasi vanteen keskiväli.
Kaikki vanneadapterit ovat raideleveyksiä, paksuus per adapteri on ilmoitettu lisämaksuna, joten ota tämä huomioon ennen tilausta.
Käytä vanneadapterin kiinnittämiseen jarrurumpuun tai -levyyn alkuperäisiä pyöränpultteja tai muttereita. Pultit tai mutterit vanteen kiinnittämiseksi adapteriin EIVÄT sisälly toimitukseen (katso välilehti "Lisävarusteet").
Huomautus: Adapterit, joissa on keskiväli 4 x 130 VW - 5 x 205 VW (PCD) (02593), eivät välttämättä sovellu etulevyjarruihin. Tarkista, että jarrusatulasi ei ulotu pidemmälle eteen kuin jarrulevysi, muuten nämä sovittimet eivät sovi.
Sovittimien 02594, 02596 ja 02598 osalta on erittäin tärkeää tarkistaa, että sovittimen kierteiden pituus on riittävä. Se ei mene aivan loppuun asti, mikä antaa vaikutelman, että vanne on kiinnitetty, vaikka todellisuudessa vanteen mutterit ovat lopussa ja vanne ei ole vielä kunnolla kiinnitetty sovittimeen.
Vanteen sovittimien käyttö ei ole virallisesti sallittua kaikissa maissa, joten tarkista asia paikallisilta viranomaisilta ennen ostamista.
Additional information about wheels and wheel assembly
Before you buy a wheel you have to make sure that the PCD, ET and backspace are correct.
The width and diameter of wheels is measured in inches (1 inch = 25.4 mm), and the offset (ET-value) is expressed in mm. The offset is the distance from the hub-mounting surface to the wheel's true centerline. A positive offset (+) means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the outside edge of the wheel, i.e. the wheel wraps around the hub and brake hardware more deeply. A negative offset (-) means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the inside edge of the wheel and the wheel sticks outwards more than inwards. If you know the offset and the width of the wheel, you can determine how far the wheel sits inside or outside of the fender. We list the diameter and offset for each wheel. Please check these data before you order your wheels. A third important point is the amount of bolts and the pitch circle diameter (PCD). This relates to how the wheel is mounted. For each wheel we list the amount of bolts/nuts needed and the PCD. The PCD is the circle that can be drawn through the center of every bolt. For example: 4x130 means that the wheel has 4 bolt holes and a PCD of 130mm. You can change this by mounting other drum breaks or disc brakes or by using wheel adapters<. Please note that wheel adapters change your offset and might not be legal for street use (this depends on the laws of your country). The list below shows the stock amount of bolt holes, the PCD and the thread & pitch of the bolts/nuts that need to be used.
Attention! Always check that the bolts or nuts are of the correct type before you mount them, the seat and the thread size are crucial. If you work with bolts on drumbrakes make sure that they do not protrude and thus damage parts of the braking system. If needed shorten the bolts to the desired length.
Dimensions: In order to see whether the desired wheel has the dimensions that you need, there are several data available to help you determine the exact dimensions. The following diagram gives a clear picture of what is what and how to use them to determine the correct dimensions.
1. Backspacing
Measured from the surface of the drum or disc to the outside of the wheel, indicated in inches.
2. ET
Measured from the surface of the drum or disc to the center of the wheel. A positive value extends the wheel further inwards, a negative value extends outwards. A zero value means that it sites in the middle of the wheel. Measured in milimeters..
3. Width
The width of the wheel between the raised edges and thus not the overall outer size of edge-to-edge. Indicated in inches.
4. Diameter
The diameter of the wheel measured at the base, so not the outer edge. Indicated in inches.
