Offset would be the main problem before you even start to worry about PCD, they would stick out miles lol

Yeah, they look nice, but would never fit.

The first prob is they're 8" wide so you need mega arches.
Then the PCD is wrong so you'd need adaptors which would push them furthers out again
Finally the offset is wrong and would affect the handling quite badly and possibly foul on the suspunsion and kill your CV joints........

So "NO" nobody has done it! And probably never will!

Alessios with a 45mm offset are almost identical but dont come with centres

what about using ford hubs adapted to a nova. then get the centers machined to et45

If you took 20mm off the wheel centres, youd probably not have a wheel centre left, and you definately wouldt have a shoulder for the nuts to hold the wheel on!

And you's STILL need mega-wide arches for an 8" wide wheel!!!!!!
