Nope. I think you'll probably find you need to change the lug pattern on your car through one of several methods, or run adapters depending on your application/desired wheel offset/comfortability with them- to run the wheels you want.

| I had knockoff wire wheel hubs redrilled from 4X110 to 4X130 for $120. If you pick ANY 4 lug 17" wheel you can redrill to match if needed. I think the 15's look better anyway! |

you can always have your drums/rotors redrilled then you can run any bolt pattern in existance, that should open up a world of different wheel choices

Agreed. This would be the best way to do whatever you want. It's not that expensive. You're a little far away, but if you're interested we can help you out (near Seattle). Give us a call or shoot us an email via our contact form.

I'm wondering if anything has changed in the last 6 years since the last post here.
Still no 4x130 17" wheels?
Is drilling drums/rotors still considered a reasonable way to open up options to 17" wheels? If so, I assume it's not a home garage job. What are the steps?

I ordered blank rotors for my car and had them machined to 5x114.3. Cost me $250.00. |

Getting drilled rotors is worth it. Or convert your drums to 5 wide. Many ways to do it.

I got mine from So Cal Imports. They offer a rotor with 5x4.5 & 5x4.75 on the same rotor, but the studs need to be pressed in. I went with the 5x4.5 (same as 5x114.3), opens you up to a ton of front wheel drive wheels options with proper offset for a bug. Plus this pattern fits nicely on a bug rotor or drum.
4x130 is a dead pattern, I don't think its being used anymore. So aftermarket companies aren't going to put money into offering something for a 30+ year old car when nothing currently in production is using it.
