My fathers best friend since I was born is a machinist. I can get my bolt pattern changed to something other than the 4x130 for free.(except for shipping) I have flared fenders (stock gt) and want to fill the wheel well out. My parts car is drilled to fit the 4x100 bolt pattern. I looked on some web sites and found that pattern has many options available. If I go this route, how would I determin the offset needed to fit the car?

just take a few measurements...face of rotor to inside of fender and start looking at the 4*100 wheels.
I think that is the vw bolts pattern, and maybe the honda pattern so you should find alot of options. The difference between 4*100 with spacers and 5*130 with spacers is one bolt. When dealing with spacers, the more bolts you have the safer you are going to be in the long run. Rich |
