    need a photo the back of the wheel before I could even geuss,. ring up any tyre/rim place (tempe tyres maybe) and they should be able to tell you the offset.

    More IMportantly though, you have BBS's why would you want commy rims for?? I'm not sure they'd work (lookswise)

    They would definitely look cool. Some of the older Holden/Ford wheels actually look OK, with low profile tyres and a good polish.

    it can be done but depends whether theres room on the rim to do it.

    if its a 4 stud, then theres room to redrill an extra 4 studed pattern. shouldnt cost that much either, $20 a rim or so.

    i owned a multistuded wheel before, tyre place drilled it wrong then redrilled to suit.

    example:


    looks like the 5 studed pattern cant be done, no room.

    the BBS's are cool... but no one will have the calais wheels on a mk1 hehe
    plus it will just be for laughs and trial and error
