    1" billet adapters would be easy if you have room.

  6. Re-drill the axle in the correct pattern, leave the wheel alone.

  8. A good machine shop can slot those wheels 1/8” inboard for the Ford/Mopar pattern. I believe Real Rodder offers wheels that way. It has been done for years for shank nut style wheels. Done correctly the wheel can not move when secured in either pattern.

    ^^^Done a few this way and work just fine...no issues and cannot move as stated above.
     
  10. I also have had the wheel hole made into a dual pattern by oblonging the hole 1/8 inch in or
    out depending on what pattern you start with. Never had a problem . Also did some magnesium Halibrands. You can not see the oval hole with the washer & shank lug nuts. Looks better than a wheel center full of extra holes.

    This is the right solution, please don’t listen to the guys telling you to slot the lug holes like a uni lug style pattern.
    That’s nothing but trouble waiting for a place to happen and will ruin the wheels.
    Can we say “Mickey Mouse” :D
