I think the wheel will be pushed out way to far which will cause fitment problems.

I wouldn't try to change the bolt pattern. I just don't think it's worth the effort.

If you can get the adapters made in your price range, go for it.

would it look Ridiculous with 15.5 wide tires since is going to push the tires out another 1.5''? is there another way to change my lug pattern with out spending a large sum of money?
