    Probably can be redrilled, if the have a flat back/mounting surface.

    Don't know if they'll clear the calipers though, I thkn Alex g had a set a while back and had to shave his calipers a bit to get them on.

    See if you can borrow one to try on perhaps. hahah it's the only way to tell for sure

      Yeah, have them take a picture of the back of the wheel if possible.

          You only want to re-drill wheels if they have caps imo

          Also these come in 4x100 so keep an eye out

            Good point, would look like ass after a redrill. I suppose alternatively you could try and fashion a cap that covers the wheel lugs, similar to the caps on a few steelies.

              You could get them to fit I reckon. Only 2mm difference in the stud pattern, just drill the holes out a little bit and they can fit. Seen it done a few times on 4x108 and 4x100 wheels. Specially guys that want to fit 4x100 wheels on Peugeot's etc etc

                You're thinking about the 4x98 patterns, not 4x108! That 2mm difference in PCD between 4x98 and 4x100 can be "eliminated" by using wobbly bolts. They're meant to be completely safe as well, but it's best to go with bolts that have had regulations approval.

                Edit: they're known as "corrective bolts" too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adWfw2a-U6M
