holes for the bolts are ovaled to fit multiple 5 bolt paterns... should be obvious just by looking at a picture.

on that note, slip ons are dumb. get the right offset instead.


the ones in the pic have slots and 5 holes

You might as well. Having them slotted like that will throw off your wheel balance slightly if you don't install them dead nuts center, and putting them on will increase the stress on your hub. Or, if you have to go with a spacer, try to find one that only fits your bolt pattern.

bolt on spacers or correct offset. there shouldn't be any other options imo. any thing over 5mm slip ons you MUST get extended lugs as well.

I try to use bolt on whenever possible, they're much stronger, you maintain balance with them, and you can go from say, a 5x4.5 pattern to a 5x5.5 pattern with them.
