To be completely honest and for your own safety, sell the Tenzo's. You would have to use adaptors to get those Del Sol wheels to fit and adaptors just aren't any safe.

Two reasons and the 2nd compounds the first. First, they'll cause the wheels to stick out waaaaaayyyyyyyy past the fenders, which will put a massive amount of stress on your lug nuts, hubs, CV joints and shafts, and your transaxle's differential. Second, the insane amount of stress that the adaptors will place on your lug studs might cause you to lose your wheels while your driving down the road.. Try driving with only 3 tires, it ain't easy.. :lmfao:

i think thats not the only way..to fix them. im just gonna remove like 3 lugs from my discs..and then relocated them... in the discs they are like little marks of lugs ...u can u drill that marks an relocated your lugs to the position that you want.. what u think guyss..that a good trick.. the good new is my rims are 4 lugs universal.. theres is to many options to sit them,,,

Why go to all that trouble when you could sell them to someone with a Civic, and use the money to buy some wheels that actually fit?


Not to mention, modifying the hubs is just as dangerous as using adapers.

I can't really add much to this then to say sell em. The work you want to do is unsafe and not worth it any way

Also, I know you don't speak english very well but adding way too many punctuation marks at the end of every sentence adds nothing to the sentence, and it's annoying as hell to read. Just a tip!!?!!??!??!??(see)

Okay, what you're talking about here WILL get you killed. If you feel the need to go against the words of some very intelligent individuals, feel free. I'm not going to let this get to the point where anyone advocates your ineptness.
