just because its says 114mm on the wheels it doesn't mean that the van pcd is! it just means someone managed to fit 114 pcd wheels on it

How did they manage to get the Mazda wheels on?
I had a look with some rims I got for feck all - decided that I didn't want to make the rims unsalable to fit them or fudge up my Bus
they're going on the Bay and I'm getting some proper 112's

Its not really a bodge they will fit on fine with wobble bolts/nuts, the bolt holes may have been opened slightly to fit.

Opened up slightly :lol:
I went to 15mm dia holes, wasn't prepared to write off a perfectly good set of wheels to bodge them on.
I know our old buses ain't fast, but I want it done properly so that when I get the Scooby engine next year I won't have wheel issues :shock:
