Small bolt to big bolt pattern
Easiest and cheapest way. Adapters. Nothing wrong with them either so long as they are quality. The last pair I bought to put corvette wheels on my Volvo 240 were billet aluminum and hubcentric to the wheel and to the car itself.
After having done this to quite a few Abodies, quite a few different ways. You get what you pay for and you form some opinions. Here are mine.
That being said here is how I choose to do it now, and the logic behind this....
Rear: you need axles to change the bolt pattern. So I buy axles from strange. now you'll need new brakes. I run Wilwood rear discs. The factory crap will work if you like it and can get it cheap.
Front: You need a 73 and newer front disc setup and you'll need to ream your spindle or get one with the larger ball joint. You can use the factory crap, if you can get it cheap and like it OR just get willwood front discs and be done with it.
I don't like having to try and pretty up all the factory stuff and source new parts as needed and pay what these stock parts go for etc. Send me a kit in the mail and I'm done by noon and the car looks perfect and performs like a new car.
