If you are converting back to bolt-ons after a conversion to wires using
an adapter kit (that is, you have a bolt-on rear end), then all you have
to do is switch hubs at all four corners. In this case, the job is a
snap. If you have a wire wheel rear end you have two options: 1) switch
complete rear end to the slightly wider bolt-on variety, or 2) just put
bolt-on hubs on a wire wheel rear end. The second option will bring
your wheels inboard approximately > inch on each side. You can
accommodate this by using inexpensive spacers. Or you can do like I did
and get Panasport 15x7 wheels and mount some pretty serious rubber.
Using a Panhard rod and a couple spacers I have squeezed in 205/50/15s
with no alteration of the fenders not even the lips.
Cheers,

Behalf Hey list,
What is involved in taking my wire wheel car back to bolt on
wheels?I want to put some alloy wheels on the car and they seem WAY
cheaper in bolt on config!
