There's actually A LOT of 4 lug wheels out there... mostly thanks to the
popularity of the hondas. Most popular modern wheels have a FWD offset, which
means that their backspacing is about .5"-.75" too high. This is perfect, cuz
you can make up that distance using adapters or spacers. Adapters would cost
a bit more, but would make the whole operation a bolt-on affair. Spacers (I'd
recommend using machined billet ones) can be used, but you'd have to also
swap in some extended studs.
