4x100 to 5x112 - there is an adaptor 'system' available but it involves one adaptor bolted to another which, to me, sounds like trouble.
Other option is coverting to 5x100 hubs using VR6 kit (not sure which bits you need), and then buy 5x100 to 5x112 adaptors - which are quite common

cheers steb..don't liek the soudn of usng more than one adaptor.
teh VR6 hub options sounds best but pricey.
as for redrilling hubs....don't fancy that much either..not sayign it wouldnt work but that owuld concern me.
oh well...keep looking. at t he moment its between the Audi 5 slots foudn on the Audi 80 at around 1990 and a set of estorils.

Its not just hubs, theres other bits and bobs i believe as well - but I'm going on a mk2 golf conversion, as I said, I'm not sure.
I'm reasonably sure you cant redrill the hubs because some of the holes are too close to the originals

I've never fancied adaptors, swapping hubs sound like an option a bit of work but worth it if you really want those wheels. This mostrosity had adaptors on to get 6 stud 'truck' wheels on  believe it, or believe it! live n learn eh, luckily i never drove it.   |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

believe it, or believe it!
