I have found a set of wheels that I want to run on my crown vic the only problem is that my cars bolt pattern is 5x114.3 and the wheels I want are 5x150 I am wondering if there is a way to swap out my current wheel hubs for a larger hub and then have a machine shop re drill the larger hub to accomidate the wheel I want. Or if there is a better way to go about making the wheels work.

^ With adapters, the wheels likely wouldn't tuck. They will be close as it is.

Ricky, I still say PM Jon (Laynrockers) on here and see what he says. He may have a solution. I don't know if you can bolt on a different hub, you may have to get some made. Then that seems like a lot of work for a steel wheel.
