This is actually the company that i got my adapters from. They're design 3. Ive had them on my car for about a year and haven't had any problems with them yet. I do recommend these for people to buy to make any bolt pattern fit and to make the perfect offset! Here is a couple of pics with different c4 vette wheels.

i got a set of Style 5 bbs et20 17x8 that i have been thinking of redrill or get these.But for some reason I cant bring myself to redrill.. with that being said what tire size do i need and right Adapter offset.Comment

I'd probably go with a 20mm up front and 20-25mm in the rear with a 205/40 depending how low the car is.

the advice too short gave is spot on i'd say.Comment

i'd probably run some 205/45s on those wheels.
you'd need the design type 2 adapters, which we can get as thin as 18mm.
so i'd do 18s up front for max clearance, and then 23 or 25mm out back. that'll have you sittin nice and you won't have any big clearance or rubbing issues with a light fender roll front and rear.Comment

my initial thought is unless your studs are really short, your setup won't work with adapters.Comment

i don't think it's that as much as they physically won't work.Comment

a couple things:
if your studs protrude less than the width of adapters you'd need, that's your only hope of getting them to work.
if you're set on a certain wheel, it may make more sense (and be safer) to take the studs out and run adapters rather than redrilling (if even possible for that set of wheels).Comment
