think you have to enlarge the hole for the hub try looking on brickyard or even ask in the syncro section

Nathan, the centre boss will require machining to accommodate the larger T25 diameter - 66.5mm I think.
The PCD is the same 5/112.
The ET, wheel offset, is too big - T4 is about 55 as far as I can recall , T25 about 35 so a 20mm adapter is required.
However, I found that if you fit an adapter you may not need to the machine the boss diameter!
Have you read this.....

PS Ian, at Syncro-nutz, had a pile of 15in rims that had been machined to fit the T25 with the correct ET , may be cheaper to buy a set of rims from him.
PPS Alternatively have a look at http://www.kinkymicks.com/products.php?cPath=4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; although they may not be listed I'm sure he can get the adapter you need, that is 5/112 to 5/112, thickness is 23mm I think. I've had a couple of sets from him.

You'll have more choice with a 15in rim although I think BFG ATs may still be available in 14in - I believe this topic has been raised a few times so it might be worth doing a search of the forum for additional information
