Late Bay To Wide 5 Wheel Adapters (5x112 To 5x205)

These wheel adapters allow you to fit classic Wide 5 (5×205 PCD) wheels onto vehicles equipped with the later 5×112 PCD hubs—specifically VW Baywindow Buses from August 1970 onwards and all VW Type 25/T3 vans (1979–1992). Manufactured from strong, durable steel, these adapters offer a clean and reliable solution for anyone wanting to run early-style Wide 5 wheels on a later bus.

Designed exclusively for rear drum fitment, these adapters cannot be used on the front as they will foul the brake calipers. They mount between the rear drum and the wheel, providing the correct spacing and stud pattern conversion required for Wide 5 fitment.

To install the adapters, the drum-to-hub securing bolts must be removed, as the adapters sit flush against the drum face. They use the standard 14mm x 1.5mm threaded holes, making installation straightforward on both Baywindow and Type 25/T3 models.

At 9.5mm thick, the adapters keep track width changes to a minimum while still providing solid load-bearing strength.
