switch it back out. I have a cat that sits on my shelf for 50 weeks out of the year, 2 weeks before I put it on, pass test, take off, and I am happy again.

Interesting, didn't know that. So im guessing you got yours re-drilled? Im not sure I would trust that. I feel safer about just getting the proper ones to begin with. I looked into an adapter plate but it would have kicked out the offset way to far for me to fit them.

Yes it did. I seriously couldn't make this up, I lived in South Carolina, Sumter to be exact, joined the Air Force, and got stationed at Fairchild. Never left the area.

The multi-lug pattern was the give away for those wheels. Well, I tried installing a new glove compartment damper. Came to find out that the bracket it attaches on is broken... I'll probably just leave it as.
