Ok please bear with me but I've looked at a set of wheels only to find out they 5x98 .now I know you can use wobbly
Bolts on 4x100 to fit fiat 4x98 but is it the same case with with other wheels can these be made to fit?

Wobbly bolts

To me this sounds dangerous and just not worth the risk.

it really is reliant on the hub spigot taking teh weight which is unlikely to be accurate if the wheels are form the wrong car.

Avoid IMHO no amount of shiny is worth being unsafe.

We have studs not bolts......not that I'd use wobbly anything to connect the wheels to the car

It worries me enough that I have a wobbly bolt in one of the upper rad support brackets

Its not applicable to stud setups anyway,I don't think an alternative exists for our application

I may be wrong mind

Thanks for the advice, I wasn't sure what was possible. The wheels were just silly cheap

As above.

Only thing that I can add is the standard spec of the ST205 wheels
16" x 7.5J
PCD 5x100
CB 54.1
ET 45

You can of course play with the wheel size 16 - 18" and ET.

This site will explain the dimensions:
