Changing Bolt Pattern?

has this been covered before. 4X100 isnt the easiest bolt pattern
Has any switched it over to a 5lub bmw pattern or maybe even a 114.3 jdm size?

How is 4x100 not the easiest bolt pattern? VW, Honda, Toyota, Saturn, BMW, etc all run or have run that bolt pattern. Try having an older BMW 325 with it's rwd offset 4x100 wheels. You either need spacers or have a narrow selection or have to pay a bunch for nice wheels.

67 BMW 1600-2 WOW I had one of those, had not thought about the old 1600 in years till I found it listed in your sig. That was a fun ride. Oh the good times on PCH with my 1600.

h and r has adapters. lots of veeduber use them. but minis dont have much room to run a deep wide wheel after slaping on a bolt patten changer because those are atlease 25mm wide.
