Re: Wheel Spacers! Help!!
To work out whether you car was 4 or 5 stud all you needed to do was look at the wheel and see how many studs there were?? You didn't need Bob Jane for that.
Bolt on wheel spacers are illegal and potentially unsafe, not just to you but to everyone else on the road.
There's no cheap and easy solution for you. I'd say just return / sell the rims, and then look for a set in the correct PCD and offset.

It doesn't what wheel spacer you going to get, 4 studs rims will never going to fit a 5, they are totally different PCD.
But if you after just a wheel spacer, then its the multi 5 studs you need, they around $10-20 each.

Something like this is able to change the PCD/stud pattern on your car. As mentioned it is probably illegal and potentially unsafe. If youre interested though check out this guy:
eBay seller's items
He sells quite a few and might have something to help you. Otherwise your local tyre shop might be able to order a set. Maybe dont go back to Bab Jane though hey?
