To compound the problem, these wheels do not have what I call a 'lugnut pocket' between the lugholes. If you use a spacer/adapter there is NO space behind the mounting pad to accommodate the hardware to bolt the adapter onto the vehicle. You can get adapters with deeper mounting holes which will allow these wheels to be mounted. Unfortunately, the 7.5" width plus the resulting small to near negative offset causes interference with our sliding door. How do I know this? Empirical evidence, naturally. About 3 years ago, I tried to install those exact style wheels on my Syncro. You know the rest. BenT
