Default Changing GC8 hubs

The alloy wheels on offer for the Classic's PCD5x100 are quite limited i 18" compared to the Newage's of PCD 5x114.3...I wondered how difficult and expensive it would be to change hubs, or keep with the stock hubs and use spacer/adaptors?
PCD 5x114.3 is very common on German cars...
I was just enquiring for future reference.
Cheers

5x114.3 is the most common Jap fitment, but you find a lot run wider rears than front (MR2, Supra etc).
All the German stuff i've seen is 5x100 or 5x110

You can get 5x100 to 5x114 adaptor spacers, doing a hub swap would be a bit of a mare as you'd also need to change shocks.

the front 114 hubs are NOT a straightforward fit and require machining at min to make them work......rear hubs are only available in the HD R180 style and would require matching brakes, shafts, etc........

Please don't let this forum descend into the slime pit that is the M3cutters forum..
I'm sick of joining forums full of snipey bitching.
if this forum goes down that route, I'll 4uck it off like I have with the BMW w4nkers.
