Okay, my volvo/daf 66 has a rather unique stud pattern/pcd making it really hard to change the wheels. This gives me three options:
1, put up with it.
2, do a hub conversion.
3, have some adapters made.
With regards to the third option does anyone know where I could have these made up and likely costs?
Cheers chaps!

I have seen 66s build to Volvo 340 suspension, don't know about the specific details. But worth a look for it.

Your car is 3x125 pcd? Iveco Daily vans are 6x125, Possible source of mega wide steels? Just bolt them on with the three bolts that line up  |

Quite a few people over here converted their 66's to 4 stud. What you need is the rear hubs from an early (pre 84 I think) 3 series volvo, and probably the drums, backing plate and brake curse word as well. It all just bolts on, you need a press to get the hub out of the Dion tube though. For the front you can just put the 340 hub on the 66 spindle. You'll need to either put the disk of the 66 on (albeit machined to fit on the 340 hub) or change the brakes to 340 ones. This guy did a lot of work on DAF for the last 40 years, he's a great source of info. daf.dse.nl/modif-brakes.htmAnd here's hit bit on dropping in a Megane 1.6 16v engine. Good stuff. daf.dse.nl/XP%20project.htm |

Although banded steels look brilliant as well. Here's my first 55 on banded 66 steels:   And my current coupe on banded 55 steelies:  And one off the net:   |

Plenty of steels for banding if needed etc.
