I think the main issue would be the turn signal return. Our wheels have a slot for the posts to deactivate the signals. You might have to duplicate this by drilling the adapter.

the first adaptor I recieved was the wrong one..hopefully this week it will show..I ended up with a nice billet alum adapter..cost 70$..ill post some pics up of that as well when it comes in..turns out the splines have been the same for ages..all the way back to pre airbag cars so this swap is accually pretty easy as long as you have a parts guy that knows his stuff..as for now just wanted to show how well the orange matches the wheel...[IMG][/IMG]

well lets hope 3rd time is a charm..local parts guy found this one for me..all billet..should..and I say should fit..splines look right..its really a 2 piece hub adapter so even if the splines are not correct on this one..because its billet aluminum I will be able to bore out the spline and recut it if needed but I dont think so..now if I could get some free time...

Ha Ha Ha What is free time ? I think it is just the time we have already paid the hidden fee for. Anxiously awaiting the install, looks good just setting there.
