instead of doing that (unless you want to), you can buy adaptors that simply change the pattern....the only problem is that they stick out a good inch and a half, so it may not work depending on the offset of your rims...im having the same problem. i wanna swap 4x110 to 4x114.3, but im worried that my wheels will rub on the fender since they'll stick out a little more than they should.

well, u can get the cp big brake kit. it converts the front brakes into the fc's and also changes the bolt pattern. the only thing is that u need the 84-85 front spindles. also i think you need adapters for the rear to use the same bolt pattern.

well, if u intend to keep 4x110, the only wheels u can get that i would recommend are the...early fb gsl wheels. they are enkie mesh, 15x7 front 15x8 rear i think???? im not sure but they look pretty cool and are a nice width. its 15 or 16 not sure, but ive only seen them for sale staggerd, but good luck finding those
on the other hand for 4x110, they have the kosei k1. this are skinny 6 spokes that look awsome and are 15x7.
i think they're on tire rack.

Just curious, but running the adapters, is there any disadvantage other than it sticking out? can they fail, or can do they weaken any points in the drivetrain?
thx
