you would need the same center hole as the vw 5 bolt because of how most machine them but ya the jamar could but it would require some machine work on the hub.  what is the price diff on the rims your looking at?

Rim for rim the bolt pattern is usually the same money new.  Have found way more offroad wheels in 5x205.  But I picked up stole 3 alum ones in 5x4.5 to run dirt tires.

Good news is they make a 205 hub to 4.5 rim adapter.  Bad news is it will bend, esp if run backwards to put 205 rims on the intrepid hubs. ;)

I have a brake/hub setup that has both 5 on 4.5 and 5 on 4.75 patterns in it. The calipers are Wilwood 4 pot.

Basically I am trying to buy a front brake and rear brakes setup with 8 rims and tires (street and sand).  I am not set on anyone part yet just hoping to find the best option.  I can't seem to find 5x205 rims very economically.  There seems to be tons of 5x4.5 around.
