Redrill all the hubs?
Or find some some hubcentric converters/spacers.
But that'll push them out a way.

Either way is hard work.
Machine shop might be able to redrill a spread of 4x100 with tapered holes in your wheels too............................

I looked into all of these options when I was looking to fit Ford Wellers on my 340.

And came to the eventual conclusion that I couldnt be ar*ed, and bough some 4x100s :lol:

You cant redrill the front hubs, due to the brake setup there is no room.

re-drilling the hubs sounds a bit risky to me

Think thats why 4x100 minilites/wellers/other preiod wheels are so hard to find!
And comand higher prices then ford fitment.
Rare=pricey.


Best to stick to correct fitment though if you can.

I've noticed how hard they are to find. I thought that 4x100 would be a piece o p*ss to find. I'm wrong or unlucky.
