You could probably make a sleeve to centre them, but for that cost you might as well get the proper article.

No, they don't but they do have a lot more meat around the studs, non hubcentric is not a problem but it does put more stress on the wheel studs thus making the need for more surface area to spread the point loadings all the more important...

It costs the same to weld up the bolt holes and redrill to 5x100.

Search for someone to do that!

There's no way i'd use those adapters, they look feeble as fvck.
