 :rolleyes:

hubs are the bits of metal between the wheel bearings and the wheels. i am trying to fit a particular set of wheels to my car and a hub conversion is seeming to be a sensible option. just wondering if anyone has done this before i go spending money on trial and error bits.

Adaptors, redrill your hubs or wheels then.

problem with all of those is thatone bolt hole will be very very close to another. this is why the adapters area, hard to find and b, expensive when you do find them as the problem has to be engineered out.

i am not keen on redrilling hubs or wheels forthe same reason
