Mitchell , Your best to take your splitty rims to a metal enginiering place in port and get them to cut out the center with the wheel hub with stud pattern and they will put the centers properly into a new wider off set rim. Or you could get mangels but there in chrome and your just going to waste the chrome and it will be cheaper at the enginierers. From Dylan

I have a set of 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 x 15 on the ghia and they've been good, but I have heard stories on other forums that not all of the wheels run true.
