Hub & Rotor swap?
Hey guys,
So I was talking to my friend about how obscure the bolt patterns on Saabs are, and he suggested I do a hub and rotor swap to kind of "unlock" access to more wheels and stuff. Has this been done before? Another friend suggested adapter plates (like spacers) but I'm not too sure I want to go that route considering the unreliability of them.
Thanks!!

Nothing obscure about 5x110, at least not here...
But you can use "wobble bolts" (PCD Variation Bolts) so that you can install wheels with e.g. 5x112 bolt pattern which are more common. Make sure that the centre bore of the wheel you will be using is correct (65.1 mm) as the wheels of our cars are hub centered, and of course make sure this is legal in your country!
