It wont fit on a standard mk3 hub no. Plenty of high offset wheels out there that tend to go for cheap. I reckon a set of adaptors is the way to go. Low offset wheels always seem to command a higher price on the second hand market anyways.

I remember ECS doing a brake kit that was just that - bigger brakes in 5x100 but allow you to still run the 2.0L control arms and driveshafts etc etc. Can't seem to find it now though...

Thanks for the information guys!
Havnt had a chance to do much research for a while, so ill have to get onto it.

Not much to update on the vento.
Cut the mobile aerial thing off the front window, pulled out as much wire as I could (included the handset holder, which was jumped up under the gear leaver somewhere), got the old etag bracket and rego stickers off (etag bracket was stuck on so well the fishing line cut through the plastic before it would cut through the sticky part)
pulled the passenger seat out with some help from stu (so simple once its pointed out to you...)
Found some more goodies including a dog lead, house lightglobe, thermos mug.
Quick shot of what I plan to fit hopefully without to much modification, new vs old
