Several yrs ago I bought a FF panasport wheel from someone on this forum. I finally tried it today (w/ a rain tire on it) and it didn't fit. Turns out it has 4 in on center lug bolt holes(instead of the 3.775 of my other wheels). Upon closer inspection, I found that the lug bolts go through steel inserts which I was able to knock out w/ a brass drift. Since they are steel, I can weld on them and put them back in the rim and bore them at the right spacing on my mill. Of course, it is not nearly that simple, hence, the "project" part of the title.
