At worst, you could bolt up the wheel to the hub
then chuck the hub in a lathe and cut the wheel center concentric.
15 minute (ea) job for a shop.....end of problem.

Just clean up the ID with a minimum cut. He'll check the runout of the ID & tell ya how much has to come off to make it round & thus concentric to the bolt circle.....WAG, .03-.04 off.

Why couldn't you just use a extra rear hub. Sure solves trying to find a shop with 4X130 adapters. It looks a lot like the pin plates in MattR's post.
Oh well just my $0.02
van914

and how does the hub attach to the machine?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

You cannot simply bore out the hub to some number you pull out of thin air, you have to ensure machine has a matching adapter.

Most balancing machines around here have a cone that the hub fits onto. and a slick cup clamping device on the other side to snug it up true.

Hub and hole in the center of the wheel is 2 different things to me RODNEY. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

How about getting them done on the car? At least the fronts anyway. As long as you don't have ltd slip, you can do the rears too. As far as I'm concerned best way to balance your tires.

Yeah maybe hub isn't accurate terminology. I guess the hub would be on the car wouldn't it? Hub-hole? Center-hole? Center-Hub-Hole?
