    I know, but a full inch and a half? Maybe, i've never bothered to measure wheels that way.



    Anyway, Led has a bit of a point, but the narrowness of the wheel means these will hardly poke more than a 7.5 et15 wheel. I'm sure itll be doable if you really want, but you have to realize that it may not really look great, you'll have tall balloon tires that are pushed out, certainly wont have the down n out stretched deal.

      you might be able to run wobble bolts instead of adapters for that size. That would be a huge help for fitment.

        ^ I thought wobble bolts would only work with very close offsets, 4x98 for example.

          100>108 is too much a stretch for wobbles.

          A machinist may be able to redrill them instead, leaving them at et16. No caps to hide the drill though, unfortunately

            Could be, I don't know what the max difference you can run them at is. Just figured it was worth mentioning since they're usually overlooked.

              this is correct.

              4x98 > 4x100
              5x4.65" > 5x120

                  Don't do it. I agree with Led.

                    they are indeed 6.75's its stamped on the back. I'm not going for a down and out look, i was going to get slightly smaller tires than i have on my bottle caps. I need new tires for winter anyway and got these for free. They'll be a lot better than stock caps. i have ix weaves also but i'd have to spend cash on spacers for them either way.

                    I figured out that i can make them fit w/o poking like a mofo so i'm going to adapt them this weekend hopefully.

                      I think ix weaves would look better than these.

                          link?

                                You should be able to make them work with those offsets, should be cool winter wheels for sure!
