My 2nd post here. Please be somewhat kind... ;)

If I'm changing hubs and redoing my brakes, is there another hub that will fit my '06 GXP with a different lug offset so I can use different wheels w/o the fear of breaking the studs?? Yes, I do understand that some of you are running 114.3's just fine. If I'm going to use a different offset, then change the hub - just the way I roll (pun intended). :D

kthnks

I don't know of any other hub that will fit on our cars with a different lug pattern.

Only way I know of to change offset is to use spacers. You can't go in much anyway or tire will rub om the strut.

That's helpful, folks! Guess I'm stuck with the 5x115's and whatever is out there for aftermarket wheels for that size.
