Default Fitting These Rims

Is there any way to fit Mach 1 rims w/o an adapter kit? I know that NPD has the kit but that's $275 that I don't want to spend and I also don't want to have to order anything. I'd like to get these wheels on by Sunday. Wheels.

No Flat Tire, that 5.720 inch back space is your enemy here.

Okay. I figured it was but I had to get some extra opinions real quick. Looks like NPD will be profiting off of their overpriced items once again [:@]

How close are you to fitting them? You have a 64 and it's lowered so if you're close I just might be able to fit them. I'll still need that kit though because the bolt pattern is different.

3/4" spacer ain't gonna cut it because you have around 2 inches too much back spacing to begin with. Why didn't you guys check in here before getting those rims? Or, were they free?

I didn't buy them yet but I'm going to. They're my favorite by far so I'm just going to suck it up and buy the adapter kit with them.

Just get some Magnum 500's. The offset will look better if they are designed for the car in the first place.
