Do Toyotas have the same bolt pattern! ???

If so maybe there is a new source for space saver spares?

I love this board. Always good for a laugh.

This is the only non-911 that a Fuchs wheel belongs! Brand new 8 and 9" from Germany. Don't ask me what I paid for them, it will make your eyes water.

I would like to put a set of Fuch's on my Featherlite trailer. I need a 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. Can you buy adapters or am I cornfused as usual? I want a set of 15" x 6" rims to dress my trailer up. Is this possible?

5x4.5" aka 5X114.3mm is a Ford, Toyota, Nissan etc. bolt pattern so if you can't find some replica Fuchs with this bolt pattern like the Toyota trucks shown above, you can get adapters to convert 5x130mm to 5x114.3 but I fear that adapters will push the wheels outside the fenders as they are usually ~20mm thick which would make for a near 0ET wheel when used with a Fuch wheel. You would need the opposite of this Honda 5x114.3 to Porsche 5x130 Trak+ Wheel Adapters 25mm -- ALLSPRINGS.COM Online Store

Back in the 80s, it was very popular to run Fuchs on Mini-Trucks and yes, there are some aftermarket Fuchs with that bolt pattern, I run adapters on mine..
