The PCD is correct, so the studs will line up - but the centre bore will be different so the wheel will not be 'hub centric', so it won't spin properly.

Get some custom spigot rings and you'll be fine - I had the same problem and there's someone specific you can get them from but I can't fecking remember their name ... anyone help out here ?

You'll need something to convert the wheels to a 57mm centre bore from whatever your wheels are currently.

do the custom spigot rings have a wheel flange with them ,ie do the wheel bolts go through them or are they just for the centre hub boss,i
am asking because if they are just for the centre boss i will mic up dimensions and make some myself on a lathe,thanks for the info
