Right,,,,, I love some of the Alfa Romeo wheels and so was pondering for future thought. Having picked up some info from other threads, what Alfa 5stud hubs fit the coupe? do Alfa 3.0 GTV hubs fit? front and back?


I would sooner do this than run a hubcentric convertor as this would mess up the offset.

Thanks for any advice, this is not something I plan on doing straight away but would love to do.

I've plenty of clearance with these wheels, no scrubbing on full lock but this is down to the rims as the offset/design of the rims are a direct fit of 5x 98pcd without any need to use spacers.

It's an easy mod to adapt to the 5 stud, rebuild the front hubs with Alfa flanges, spline diameter is the same as the coupé so rebuild with a new bearing and that's the front sorted.
Rears are again Alfa but you'll need some Coupé rear hubs for the ABS rings which then need to be welded to the rear of the Alfa hubs.

Front hubs from Alfa 156 are plug and forget.
You should use rear Alfa 156 hubs as well, but it must be machined to fit Coupe ABS ring.....and you must make some metal sleeve(insert) for the place where the Alfa bearing fits, because there is 2mm difference.
Once did correctly, it will last long.....
