      someone suggested:

      You could always redrill the hubs and rotors to 5x100 using the factory 12mm bolt hole so that way you don't sacrifice not being able to use your factory 4x100 wheels, but it also puts you in a great position to get a 5x100->5x120 or 5x112 adapter in 15mm
      how do i find someone to do this?

      with the 15mm spacer, they would still be too low offset, right?

        ET+11 plus 20mm adapter = -9, yes MINUS NINE offset.

        you will definitely need fender cutting/flares/etc to make these fit.

        with that said, IF you make them fit, they will probably look pretty awesome and you will have a very wide stance.

        good luck and keep this updated.

        oh yeah. depending on the thickness of the part of the wheel that mounts up to the hub, you might be able to have it machined to increase the offset, making the use of an adapter more reasonable. if you do it enough you could get by without the flares and just roll your fenders flat and pull them some.

          i tested them with some 25mm adapters.

          the adapters are 20mm. how close would they end up to the IE fender flares?

            skinnier tires, roll and pull your fenders and you should be fine. wont have to get flares and then paint them or anything. atleast try the roll and pull and if it doesnt work then get the flares?

                How wide are they?

                If they are 8's as they appear to be, et -9 isn't too hard to pull off as long as you don't mind stretched tires.
