 PCD info please

Hello all,
I need some information regarding the PCD and screw size of an ST 185. I intend to install wheel spacers to offset the wheels by about 30-35mm. Is this recommendable? And how much will it affect the bearings and handling?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Chris

An ST185 should have 5x100 stud pattern. What is the purpose of you installing wheel spacers, it's not like your car has an uncommon offset, and fitting them will make your car illegal.

Its QLD Frank, they get away with a lot more.
But 30-35mm is HUGE.
What kind of rims have a +70 offset? (and no +10 offest plus 30mm spacer does not equal +40 offset)

Yo guys,
I'm new at this stuff, and the offset was just recommended to me. What I want is too fill out the guards more and at the moment ( or maybe a year or so ) I can't afford to buy a set of wheels. Having stock rims on my GT4 looks a bit sad, in order to make it look phat(er)these spacers is what I need. With the 30-35mm spacer thickness this will fill out the guards just right I hope. Help me out on this fellas. How about the screw size? this is what the people from bestuning.com is asking me. Any help on this?
Thanks Frank,Cruzsida

Disregard screw size, the stud size will not be info you'll find out about for wheels, it's a standard thing. It's the number of them and their spacing which is important.
If you're unhappy with the stock rims, you have to think about two things. Obviously, if you upgrade the wheels, you'lll undoubtedly get wider ones than stock. This will push them out by half of the width increase.
Changing the offset to a lower one will also push the wheels out further. Ultimately though, you're going to come to a guard or something else in your way.
30mm is a big spacer in terms of wheels, there should be plenty of wheels that can look the way you want without having a need for them.

30mm will put bad stress on wheel bearings, as it was not designed for it.
And will also be highly illegal.
Sava-da-moni, get proper rims.

Thanks for the advice Frank.
I'll leave the stock rims for now 'til I saved enough for a set.
Thanks again
