Hey all, Does anyone have an Idea as to wether anyone makes an adapter to mount the ford truck 5x5.5 pattern to the VW 4 lug pattern? I have a gorgeous set of 4 Turbine style alum wheels ( looks like the wheels on the General Lee only waaayyy deeper offset ) Junkyard find on a 79' Bronco for 25.00 ! I couldn't pass it up.


Thanks for any replies !
