Hey, i just bought 17 inch rims whos pattern is 4x114.3.

i noticed that this is a little bigger than the 4x100 that the manual suggests. what would be some modifications that i would need in order for these suckas to fit?

buy a car with 4x114.3 bolt pattern or buy the bolt pattern converting spacers

I've never heard of converting spacers, but I do know that spacers are not a safe idea. They have a tendency to heat up and cool down at different rates than the wheel and hub thus loosening the lugs which could lead to a wheel coming off. Why did you buy the wrong lug pattern wheels? I suggest trying to get your money back and buy wheels with the correct 4x100 lug pattern.

what offset and width are the wheels u bought? these adapters are 1" in thickness. depending on the specs of your wheels, they may or may not work.
