Not sure the stud pattern will be ok - I think they are 5 stud.

The width may be an issue - you need to measure it

The ratio might be quite good if you are putting a car engine in - commercial vehicles tend to have a low ratio which will give quicker acceleration.

Cheers

Trouble with the P100 is the weight as the walls are very thick, it will work, but there are much better alternatives.

definately a 5 stud wheel required, kind of limits things a lot if your using cortina or sierra front hubs.
