I'm amazed you've gone to all that trouble with those studs, why not just get the holes relocated to suite larger studs? I wholly agree with not "bending" studs by going 4 inch/100mm, but I wouldn't be too keen on the adapter method either.
relocating the holes shouldn't cost more that £50 at a decent machine shop.

I can see a lot of graft has gone into those bars and the pedal will looks sweet once the rubbers are fitted.
Keep at it mate.

Hi Huw. I also need thee extra width to suit other aspects of the design. I have added 30mm per side to the width to allow the seats to work nicely. |

Finished the first wheel adapter today. Fitted it an then spun a rim on it. As far I can tell there is no eccentricity or wobble at all. Well chuffed.

So you should be. Not the easiest of things to make, especially without a lathe. |

To be honest i don't know Dobber. I think you can get wobblenuts to take up the difference. as i needed to space the wheels out anyway seemed the obvious way to go for me. I initially used wheel spacers and stud extenders but really didn't like that as there would be a lot of strain on the studs plus the pcd difference.
maybe those with more experience than me can comment?

Mine probably cost that to make once you add up the price of the ally, hole cutter, other drills i needed - without considering my time (considerable amount used!) Having said that, i wanted 30mm and had fun making them, which was the biggest factor.
Just be sure the extra width will not have your wheels proud of the mudguard if that matters to you - not sure about legality of it either??

Just to be pedantic, there are numerous references to using 100mm wheels on 4 inch hubs. Sure they work, but you'll be bending std studs. If you upgrade to imp studs or 12mm you'll still be stressing them. Ask yourself if, when you tighten your wheelnuts, where do you stop tightening?
I've raced an autograss metro exactly like this, it's caused me no end of problems, but at the end of the day I'm strapped inside the metro,not sat on top of it.
Just my opinion of course,
Huw
