can you make these rims fit

Hello everyone, Iwas looking for some rims and i came across these. There calles koing hot swap. I was wondering is there any way to make these rims fit or just find some other ones. But these nice because you can put an insert that's the color of your car. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...tmpHotSwap.jsp

Ask Discount....They'll know their wheels better than us.

But, regardless of whether they are a DIRECT bolt-on or not....They can be MADE to fit....with the corrects adapters &/or spacers.

If you WANT them, find out what they will fit & their backspacing, then call Skulte & get theadpter/spacers you need to put them on.

Re: can you make these rims fit

^ no that idea wont work. spacers are not very expensive. much less expensive than custon axles, and rotors

i went through their ordering process and they are not available with the 5-4.75 bolt pattern, they do seem to be available with a 4.5" bold circle, though you did not specify what diameter you wanted

these would require spacers that adapt to the 4.5" bolt pattern, but the site never states the backspacing/offset. You would really need to call/email these guys and talk to them.

Re: can you make these rims fit

Can I suggest you do SOME research on your own? Rather than expect everybody to repeat the same info that has been posted here 1000 times?

Without knowing the backspacing of the wgheels you buy, nobody can come close to suggest if a 1" a 2.5" adapter spacer will work.
