I wouldn't adapt your lugs for this. Just try to find a PROPER Rim that will fit what you have. 5x115 is our bolt pattern. Look on various websites for a nice rim.
Why not? Using an adapter makes a rim fit just like it were the proper bolt pattern, just get a thin one so added pressure is limited.

Because you are adding a pointless additional possible failure point to one of the most important parts of a car.

They are nice rims, you CAN find aftermarket rims that will fit properly and look good.

what i mean lower springs look good as well as a good pair of shocks will make it ride better. same as a set of rims that has the same bolt pattern that looks great to you dont risk it if you have to make a special plate to put on rims

I don't really see the issue with running adapters either, but to each their own.

Even if adaptors were used, I think between the thickness of the adapter and the difference in wheel offset (fwd vs rwd) the wheels/tires would stick too far out of the fenderwells.

Rolling with 20s on a Monte?

To each his own...I'm curious to see pics if it is ever done though.
