Unilug wheels

I'm considering buying some old turbovec wheels but they have a unilug stud pattern to enable them to fit both Ford and Chevy stud paterns with the use of different washers. The VW 5x112 stud pattern falls between these two, so is there any reason why with the right washers they shouldn't be fitted to a T25?

The centre bore is defiitely big enough, the wheels are 14" by 6.75" and I'm waiting to hear back from the seller about the offset.

Thanks.

Sounds bloody dangerous to me.
Wheels have to be properly centralized, either by the centre spigot or by taper (or radius) seat studs.
I would avoid these wheels Mr Crowley and stick to raising up golems by darke magicke...

Thanks for your input Silverbullet, they sold anyway so it's back to the olde rituals for me.
