Re: will wheel adapters work??!!

Our cars are 5 X 4.75 (@120mm), those wheels have both 110mm and 114.3mm. So you would need an adapter to convert the 120mm to 114.3mm, and then the adapter would have to fix the width too. I know with a +56mm offset, I needed 2.25in spacers. I would go to www.skulte.com and see if he can help you out. But your gonna be spending at least another $300 on adapters, if not more because they might have to be custom adapters. And I don't know if it is OK to convert 120mm to 114.3mm safely on an adapter or not. But skulte.com will definately be able to help you out.

Or just take the money you're going to spend in spacers and get aftermarket wheels.

I know they're not really big in the domestic market but Volk or Works wheels are available in a lot of sizes and a lot of offsets so they fit nicely!
