Any one running Chev 16" wheels on their Disco 2?

Are you saying there are Chevys with the 5x120 pattern? I thought it was just BMWs.

From this, it looks like it. The Hondas and Chevys shown have a bore that is too small.

On some of the sites I've read, they either increase the Center Bore on a Lathe or use Hub-Sentric wheel spacers with the smaller outer hub to fit the wheels.

I've also read (but haven't looked into) that late model ford pickups have 14mm wheel studs with a thinner walled nut.

Don't know if the effort is worth the hassle & added expense.
