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?

depends on the style, but a lot of the BBS rims are 18" and up now. can 18s fit under a stock fender without looking like a monster truck?

plenty of people run spacers, but I've always heard to avoid adapters.
