Not all uni-lug systems used the washers, though some did. If I had done the Aspire swap I would have had to machine the other direction. Pinto wheels are 4x4.25.

I have never seen a uni-lug wheel, however, without shank nuts. they provide a lot of extra centering force. They all *should* have the washers.
I would never do that on my car. But then I have a 'wheel guy' who would drill the proper pattern adjacent to the existing pattern if I was in that situation. He's done several similar modifications for me in the past (hub bore-outs, flange modifications, might get him to widen some wheels sometime)
I have, however, seen sketchier things done and hold just fine.Comment

If I were to do it I would use the shank nuts like the guy above was saying. In fact, if I end up with a Volvo in my near future (next RWD car) I'm going to have to do it with wheels because they use 5x108 bolt pattern, lol.Last edited by chrisofna; 09-02-2010, 10:14 PM.Current cars:
