Default When I looked I think you need to run a 20mm adapter.

45-20= 25 offset = No go.

If they made a 15mm you might be able to get away with it and run a total 30et, but I dont' think they do. Don't reinvent the wheel....hahaha bad joke. Get something that bolts up, there isn't enough room to make wheels fit.

That is ofcourse if you don't want to pull fenders etc.

Default Tim, the fact that they are 5x114.3 makes it super easy to redrill them to 5x112.

Adapters won't work due to that offet. if they were like a 50 or a 55 you can get away with a 20mm adapter. Being 45 pretty much factory offset, you should just have them redrilled. I'll ask around to see if I can find someone able to redrill them locally.
