And also, can a wheel shop do the job--->convert the wheels' bolt pattern from 5x114.3 to 5x130?

Those wheels will not fit on a NB, and probably not fit on a WB. I would not try to thange the bolt pattern.

Not only would they not fit, why would you try to stuff a 20" wheel on these cars?

if you REALLY wanted them on the car you could make it work. Since it's a multi-piece wheel you'd have to buy new wheel halfs and re-build the wheels to change the offset. Then you'd still have to drill them. I think you'd find you had soo much money in them at that point that you would have been better off just ordering a new set to begin with.

Sell your wheels and buy some real P-car wheels that fit properly. They're cheap and you won't have any worries. Good luck!
