no I wouldnt use them as there is no center lip to sit the wheel rim on, so the wheels wont run balanced. You cant rely on the bolts to center the rim correctly.

Now gone - MY16 D4 SE Tech, Loire Blue, Almond Leather, Privacy, plus some other goodies.
Old - MY12 D4 SDV6 XS Auto - Ipanema Sand with Almond Leather - Plus other niceties, and D4.com sticker
Older - D3 TDV6 XS Auto - Lugano Teal with Almond Leather, 20" Stormers, Shiny Tailpipes, DVD/TV - and obligatory D3 sticker
Ancient - D3 TDV6 S - Tonga with Ebony, 20" Stormers, satnav & DVD
As Al aid no lip to hang the wheel on, the studs will not center the wheel and you will get vibration.

I would if I could - my little chap down the road has gone bump - probably because I screwed him down on price, however he is still talking to me and hopes to be back up and running soon.

There may be a fair bit of business on here if you could I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Just want a little wider stance....
Surely you'd be better [and safer] with another wheel with a bigger offset.
I'm running 20's which gives mine a wider stance.
But there are other wheels in smaller sizes which would also do.
I think the wheels Very Disco runs are 17's and they look to have a wider stance over normal....... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Moose, I don't suppose you'd be interested in looking at making up some hub adaptors for Sankey - D3 hubs would you?

yes, thats the lip - these are known over here as hubcentric spacers, so that your wheels locate correctly, and dont run as if they were out of balance.
