? about wheel adapters
Ok I am into traditional hot rods, but the wife drives a Lancer ES (2003)
I was doing her brake job and found out some things the hard way. First that model uses 4 x 100 for the bolt pattern, after getting all the parts for the 4 x 114.3 (didn't know I just told them what the car was and they gave me those parts) I realized there were different size bolt patterns besides the EVO and other models.
Ok here is my dilema, she had hubcaps, but last years winter really took a toll on her wheels and ruined the steel wheels (POT HOLES). I wanted to get her a set of rims, but she doesn't like aftermarket "BLING" stuff. So I finally got my hands on an OZ set and well guess what, They are 114.3 pattern. AGHHH, was not happy when I realized all of this.
So a friend who had an EVO before told me about your website and told me to check here for any advice besides selling the OZ wheels back on Ebay and getting a different set.
Do they make a 4x100 to 4x114.3 Wheel Adapter set? I have found all these 25MM wheel spacers but nothing reference adapter sets.
Can anyone suggest anything. I also looked into changing all the "hubs" over to the bigger size it possible but I was told they were bearings and not hubs so I couldn't do it easily or cost effective.
Sorry this is so long but I have a dilema. Please help if you can.

Really, unless you want to buy the front and rear hubs off an OZ and swap them in, your best bet is to resell the wheels and find a set that fit. 4 lug Civics use the same 4x100 wheels, and are a compatible offset, so you could probably easily find a used set of those.
