Personally I'd never use wobble bolts or spacers even though a fairly thin spacer could be made up. I'd imagine having 4 spacers turned up wouldn't be that cheap either. When I get my spare axle here I'll be removing the half shafts to try and convert them to 4x100 PCD as there is a much better wheel choice. I would imagine the front is easy enough to do and i will look into that too. Trouble is you may not be able to go back to 4x4" after depending on how much meat's on the drive shaft to play with.

I'm also put off as I like my slotmags and may want to use them again one day. I'll see how I get on and will keep you updated.

There is a machine shop in Christchurch that will machine out your wheel's stud holes the press in new steel inserts with offset countersunk holes. this way the wheel will properly locate centrally on hub and all is OK and strong! I was told $50 (£20 ish for you lot in snow land) per wheel roughly which is bl--dy cheap. I will try and find out name.

Or slot some 100mm wheels- its only 1mm - but fit centre bore locators so wheel will sit central. I got some of those made for my escort 3 years ago- $80

Dont fit 15 inch wheels - it look all modern and wrong. My opinion...

Can you get a pick up of the banded Rostyles? It's one of the options I'm considering for mine and am wondering what it looks like

I looked into this a little while ago and decided the best route would be to get some wheel hub adapters/spacers made up see the link below.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10414

However the response was very negative both here and on the DSG forum. I only offered to get extra ones made as I thought some people would like the idea. I'll still be placing an order for mine (once money is following better).
