Need help with wheels

Need to know if is safe to use wheels with 4x108 on a 4x110 car. The back space is good and I was able to get some bolts started. Will it be a big difference between the bolt pattern?

They are 15 x 8

Well, those tires look a little too big in the sidewall, but you could probably grind out the bolt holes just a tad to get them to fit and it should be ok.

I tried the same thing. At first thought this might work but when you torque the studs down they will strip out. Took my 108 wheels to a machine shop and had them redrilled to the 110 pattern. On car now for 2 years and they fit fine. Hope this helps

Those are not the tires to be use, they will be 205/50/15. I will check with a machine shop.

I asked this question a few months ago and everybody ripped me to shreds and says I was retarded for thinking it would work. FWIW.
