Wheels (again)

Hi Guys,

I have found a set of wheels for sale which meet my strange requirements of 15x10 rears and 15x10 fronts (I have a strange looking car ), but the fronts are Jaguar 5 stud instead of Ford 4 stud.

I am tempted to go for them anyway and try and arrange a swap for some other wheels (they are a common style, and although 15x10s are like hens teeth, 15x7s are pretty common), but I know that hub adaptors and the like are available and wonder if anyone had any guidance?

Thanks,

Ed

cant see any problems with adapters for road use, not sure about racing though.
is it the wheels or the hubs that a re jag? if its the hubs you could remove the studs and have new ones put in to suit ford.

The wheels are Jag, hubs are Cortina.

The Eagle SS has a certain resemblance to a Stratos (well, is can do, mine bear more resemblance to a pile of parts just now), but it is a unique design (copied from the American Nova kit).

It does have absolutely HUGE rear arches though
